Abstract
Query expansion methods have been studied for a long time - with debatable success in many
instances. In this paper we present a probabilistic query expansion model based on a similarity
thesaurus which was constructed automatically. A similarity thesaurus reflects domain knowledge
about the particular collection from which it is constructed. We address the two important issues with
query expansion: the selection and the weighting of additional search terms. In contrast to earlier
methods, our queries are expanded by adding those terms that are most similar to the concept of the
query, rather than selecting terms that are similar to the query terms. Our experiments show that this
kind of query expansion results in a notable improvement in the retrieval effectiveness when
measured using both recall-precision and usefulness.
