| contents | Keyword-based searches are today's standard in digital libraries. Yet, complex retrieval scenarios like in scientific knowledge bases, need more sophisticated access paths. Although each document somewhat contributes to a domain's body of knowledge, the exact structure between keywords, i.e., their possible relationships, and the contexts spanned within each single document will be crucial for effective retrieval. Following this logic, individual documents can be seen as small-scale knowledge graphs on which graph queries can provide focused document retrieval. We implemented a full-fledged graph-based discovery system for the biomedical domain and demonstrated its benefits in the past. Unfortunately, graph-based retrieval methods generally follow an 'exact match' paradigm, which severely hampers search efficiency, since exact match results are hard to rank by relevance. This paper extends our existing discovery system and contributes effective graph-based unsupervised ranking methods, a new query relaxation paradigm, and ontological rewriting. These extensions improve the system further so that users can retrieve results with higher precision and higher recall due to partial matching and ontological rewriting. |
