A study: query expansion methods in information retrieval

Abstract

Abstract This paper study about a review of the literature on Query Expansion (QE) methods. The main aspects of the review study are the methods, limitations of the QE methods, and datasets used in QE. As the results of this study, we can conclude several methods used on QE i.e., Ontology, Association Rules, Wordnet, Methathesaurus, Synonym mapping, Concept-based, Local Co-occurrence, and Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI). Each of the methods still has limitations. For datasets used in QE, many researchers use public datasets.
