Abstract

The present work aims at refining and expanding user's queries thanks to association rules. We adapted the A-Close algorithm to a medical corpus indexed by MeSH descriptors. The originality of our approach lies in the use of the association rules in the information retrieval process and the exploitation of the structure of the domain knowledge to evaluate the association rules. The results show the usefulness of this query expansion approach. Based on observations, new knowledge is modelled as expert rules.
