6 Search on XML Languages such as XQuery and XPath can be used An examle XQuery exression: for $x in doc( bibliograhy.xml )/bib/aer where $x/[booktitle= dasfaa ] return $x/author But they have roblems: Comlex language syntax User needs to know the database schema 6

7 Keyword Search on XML Query: Set of keywords Answer: Subtrees of the XML tree (not whole documents) Minimum connecting trees (MCTs) are common as results Root of MCT: Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA) of keyword matches Large number of results, mostly irrelevant Ranking is imortant 7

25 Semantics Direct comarison between atterns (instead of assigning scores to atterns) Comarison is based on different kind of relations defined on atterns These relations are defined using different tyes of homomorhisms between atterns 25

47 Algorithm PatternStack Inut: Inverted lists of the query keywords Outut: Patterns of the query with the associated ITs Reads the inverted lists in document order Constructs the atterns on the fly incrementally Links the constructed ITs with their resective atterns 47

48 Exerimental Setu Datasets Effectiveness Mondial (1.7 MB), Sigmod (467 KB), EBAY (34 KB) Efficiency NASA (23 MB), XMark (150 MB) Metrics Filtering Exeriments Precision: ratio of the relevant results in the result set of the system Recall: ratio of the relevant results in the result set to all relevant results 48

49 Exerimental Setu Ranking Exeriments: Mean Average Precision (MAP): The mean of the average of recision scores after each relevant result of the query is retrieved Recirocal Rank (R-Rank): Recirocal of the rank of the first correct result of a query Precision-at N (P@N): Ranked list is cut off at rank N 49

50 Exerimental Setu Handling equivalence classes (ITs that share the same rank): Best: All correct results are assumed to be ranked at the beginning of the equivalence class Worst: All correct results are assumed to be ranked at the end of the equivalence class The best and worst versions result in lower and uer bounds for the metrics 50

51 Filtering Exeriments XReason is comared with SLCA: ITs whose MCT root is an SLCA ELCA: ITs whose MCT root is an ELCA ITReal: an adatation of XReal XReal finds an intended node tye ITReal returns ITs whose MCT root is a descendant of XReal s intended node tye 6 queries over each dataset (Mondial, SIGMOD, EBAY) 51

52 Ranking Results Dataset Semantics MAP worst MAP best R-Rank worst R-Rank best Mondial Sigmod EBAY XReason ITReal XReason ITReal XReason ITReal XReason has erfect R-Rank scores XReason outerforms ITReal w.r.t. MAP 52

53 Ranking Results Worst and best versions are suerimosed XReason has better values than ITReal 53
