If You Ask Nicely, I will Answer: Semantic Search and Today's Search Engines
Proceedings of the 2009 IEEE International Conference on Semantic Computing , page 184--191. Washington, DC, USA, IEEE Computer Society, (2009)
Abstract
Abstract—Today’s search engines are still very sensitive to
the way queries are constructed. In some occasions, equivalent
but slightly different forms of a query lead to completely
different results. However, popular queries with only one right
answer seem to be generally well served by search engines,
which generally return the correct answer among their top
10 search results. Internet’s redundancy of information and
the recent proliferation of user generated content helps search
engines to remain almost entirely keyword oriented and still
robustly handle equivalent versions of queries. In this paper
we propose a family of metrics to evaluate the semantical
invariance of a given search engine, and we report experimental
results for well-known engines such as Google, Yahoo!, Live
and Ask.com, as well as for new semantic search engines like
Hakia and Cuil.
