Abstract

IntelliSearch is a complete and fully automated information retrieval system for the Web. It supports fast and accurate responses to queries addressing text and images in Web pages by incorporating state-of-the-art text and Web link information indexing and rertieval methods in conjunction with efficient ranking of Web pages and images by importance (authority). Searching by semantic similarity for discovering information related to user’s requests (but not explicitly specified in the queries) is a distinguishing feature of the system. IntelliSearch stores a crawl of the Web with more than 1,5 million Web pages with images and is accessible on the Internet. It offers an ideal test-bed for experimentation and training and serves as a framework for a realistic evaluation of many Web image retrieval methods.
