Abstract

This paper presents an implemented and evaluated methodology for disambiguating terms in search queries. By exploiting Wikipedia articles and their reference relations, our method is able to disambiguate terms in particularly short queries with few context words. This work is part of a larger project to retrieve information graphics in response to user queries.
