The field of information retrieval (IR) is an important area in computer science, this domain helps us to find information that we are interested in from an important volume of information. A search engine is the best example of the application of information retrieval to get the most relevant results. In this paper, we propose a new recommendation approach for recommending relevant documents to a search engine’s users. In this work, we proposed a new approach for calculating the similarity between a user query and a list of documents in a search engine. The proposed method uses a new reinforcement learning algorithm based on n-grams model (i.e., a sub-sequence of n constructed elements from a given sequence) and a similarity measure. Results show that our method outperforms some methods from the literature with a high value of accuracy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
