We focus on the design of a set of criteria aiming at capturing complementary aspects of relevance, while acknowledging that each criterion has a limited precision. Moreover, we provide algorithmic solutions to aggregate these criteria to get the ranking of relevant documents, while taking into account the specificities of the Web information retrieval problem. We report on results of preliminary experiments that give first justification of the pertinence of the proposed approach to improve retrieval effectiveness.

We deal with the problem of ranking Web documents within a mul- ticriteria framework and propose a novel approach for infor- mation retrieval. We focus on the design of a set of crite- ria aiming at capturing complementary aspects of relevance. Moreover, we provide aggregation procedures that are based on decision rules, to get the ranking of relevant documents.

Fuzzy Spatio-Spectro-Temporal Ontology for Remote Sensing Image Annotation and Interpretation: Application to Natural Risks Assessment

International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems

In this paper, we propose a new ontology which allows the annotation as well as the interpretation of RSI with respect to natural risks, while taking into account uncertainty of data, object dynamics in natural scenes, and specificities of sensors. In addition, using this ontology, we propose a methodology to (i) annotate the semantic content of RSI, and (ii) deduce the susceptibility of the land cover to natural phenomena such as erosion, floods, and fires, using case-based reasoning supported by the ontology. This work is tested using LANDSAT and SPOT images of the region of Kef which is situated in the north-west of Tunisia. Results are rather promising.

Most current approaches assess document relevance by computing a single score which aggregates values of some attributes or criteria. They use analytic aggregation operators which either lead to a loss of valuable information, e.g., the min or lexicographic operators, or allow very bad scores on some criteria to be compensated with good ones, e.g., the weighted sum operator. Moreover, all these approaches do not handle imprecision of criterion scores. In this paper, we propose a multiple criteria framework using a new aggregation mechanism based on decision rules identifying positive and negative reasons for judging whether a document should get a better ranking than another. The resulting procedure also handles imprecision in criteria design. Experimental results are reported showing that the suggested method performs better than standard aggregation operators.

But ‘without an understanding of what relevance means to users, it is difficult to imagine how a system can retrieve relevant information for users’ [1]. In this paper, we try to capture what relevance is for a particular user and model his
