The information retrieval technology is a representative technology of the information society and the ranking of information as a result of the search has been proven to influence people. Various researches have been conducted on the recommendation method of related documents in the field of information retrieval technology. Knowledge resource-based research, such as a dictionary of terms and ontology, requires human intervention and deployment costs and maintenance. Simple frequency-based research, such as TF-IDF, does not take into account the context of words and sentences, and it is impossible to interpret new words. Therefore, the efficiency of search is reduced.
News is characterized by having a wide range of information reported by various media companies. There are limitations to providing customized information because it deals with various incidents and it is composed of various keywords in one topic.
Therefore, in this paper, we use Korean news articles to extract topic distributions in documents and word distribution vectors in topics through LDA-based Topic Modeling. Then, we use Word2vec to vector words, and generate a weight matrix to derive the relevance SCORE considering the semantic relationship between the words. We propose a way to recommend documents in order of high score.
As a result of document recommendation by relevance SCORE, it was confirmed that documents in SCORE range of higher association consist of words that are highly related to the query keyword. As a result of the document recommendation performance evaluation by the relevance SCORE using the TextRank algorithm which can recognize the importance of the words in the document, the query keyword has a higher importance as the higher relevance SCORE numerical value is larger. And the suitability of the proposed method was verified. The comparative experiment shows that semantic-based document recommendation is more effective than the existing document ranking methodologies TF-IDF and LDA.
The methods proposed in this paper can improve the performance of document searches by eliminating semantic ambiguity, and provide customized information by recommending documents that are most relevant to users' keywords, and identify the events associated with each keyword in the same topic.
