A Novel Web Query Automatic Expansion Based on Rough Set

One of important reasons caused low precision was presented, which was due to inaccurate express of the query. So a new method of automatic query expansion based on tolerance rough was put forward. In the algorithm, the uncertain connection between query terms and retrial documents was described as term tolerance class. The upper approximation set of query sentence was considered as query expansion. The new additional terms were also given weight numbers. The results of experiment on collection of Google 5 000 Web pages showed that the approach was effective on query expansion and high search precision was gained.
