Applying Science Models for Search

TL;DR

This paper introduces three science models—Search Term Recommendation, Bradfordizing, and Author Centrality—that are integrated into search systems to improve retrieval quality, discussing their approaches and implementation challenges.

Contribution

It presents a framework for integrating three science models into search systems, addressing practical implementation issues in real-world environments.

Findings

Enhanced retrieval quality through science models

Discussion of implementation challenges

Framework for integrating models into search systems

Abstract

The paper proposes three different kinds of science models as value-added services that are integrated in the retrieval process to enhance retrieval quality. The paper discusses the approaches Search Term Recommendation, Bradfordizing and Author Centrality on a general level and addresses implementation issues of the models within a real-life retrieval environment.
