Patent Images
1. An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based method for searching documents in a knowledge store, comprising the steps of:
- searching the knowledge store for documents relevant to a user query;
determining whether said user query relates to one or more previously processed expert query;
modifying said user query with relevance feedback to provide a modified query if it is determined that said user query relates to one of said expert queries; and
searching the knowledge store for documents relevant to said modified query to provide relevant documents.

Abstract
An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based search method and system for enhancing and assisting the task of specifying the required information in the query by combining the user'"'"'s original query with additional information previously provided by the expert users. That is, the ANN based search system utilizes the expert community feedback in predicting the relevance of particular documents and dynamically builds statistical associations between the queries and known solutions, i.e., relevant documents, identified by the expert users.

9. An artificial neural network (ANN) system for searching documents in a knowledge store, comprising:
-
a search engine for searching the knowledge store for documents relevant to a user query; and
an ANN decision system for determining whether said user query relates to one or more previously processed expert query, and modifying said user query with relevance feedback to provide a modified query if it is determined that said user query relates to one of said expert queries; and
wherein said search engine is operable to search the knowledge store for documents relevant to said modified query to provide relevant documents. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
