Cluster-based information retrieval by using (K-means)-hierarchical parallel genetic algorithms approach

Abstract

Cluster-based information retrieval is one of the information retrieval (IR) tools that organize, extract features and categorize the web documents according to their similarity. Unlike traditional approaches, cluster-based IR is fast in processing large datasets of document. To improve the quality of retrieved documents, increase the efficiency of IR and reduce irrelevant documents from user search. In this paper, we proposed a (K-means)hierarchical parallel genetic algorithms approach (HPGA) that combines the K-means clustering algorithm with hybrid PG of multi-deme and master/slave PG algorithms. K-means uses to cluster the population to k subpopulations then take most clusters relevant to the query to manipulate in a parallel way by the two levels of genetic parallelism, thus, irrelevant documents will not be included in subpopulations, as a way to improve the quality of results. Three common datasets (NLP, CISI, and CACM) are used to compute the recall, precision, and F-measure averages. Finally, we compared the precision values of three datasets with Genetic-IR and classic-IR. The proposed approach precision improvements with IR-GA were 45% in the CACM, 27% in the CISI, and 25% in the NLP. While, by comparing with Classic-IR, (K-means)-HPGA got 47% in CACM, 28% in CISI, and 34% in NLP.

A genetic algorithm coupled with tree-based pruning for mining closed association rules

“…Reference Methodology and Advantages Drawbacks HPGA [22] -Uses a k-means cluster with two levels of genetic algorithm for information retrieval -Obtained higher precision and better-quality information retrieval -There was a reduction in irrelevant results…”

“…The fitness of these genes is calculated and accordingly a cross-over or mutation is carried out to find the best fit individuals. Toman et al [22] proposed a technique that used this algorithm along with k-means clustering for effective retrieval of information from datasets. A framework based on a bio-inspired framework was proposed [23] for mining frequent itemsets.…”
