Applying Similarity Measures to Improve Query Expansion

The huge evolving in the information technologies, especially in the few last decades, has produced an increase in the volume of data on the World Wide Web, which is still growing significantly. Retrieving the relevant information on the Internet or any data source with a query created by a few words has become a big challenge. To override this, query expansion (QE) has an important function in improving the information retrieval (IR), where the original query of user is recreated to a new query by appending new related terms with the same importance. One of the problems of query expansion is the choosing of suitable terms. This problem leads to another challenge of how to retrieve the important documents with high precision, high recall, and high F measure. In this paper, we solve this problem through applying different similarity measures with the use of English WordNet. The obtained results proved that, with a suitable selection method, we are able to take advantage of English WordNet to improve the retrieval efficiency. The work proposed in this paper is extracting the terms from all the documents and query, then applying the following steps: preprocessing, expanding the query based on English WordNet, selecting the best terms, weighting of term, and finally using the cosine similarity and Jaccard similarity to obtain the relevant documents.

Our practical results were applied on the DUC2002 dataset that contains 559 documents distributed over several categories. The average precision of cosine (for random queries) = 100% whereas the average precision of Jaccard = 84.4 %, and the average recall of cosine = 86.8%   whereas the average recall of Jaccard = 73.4%. The average f-measure of cosine = 92%, whereas the average f-measure of Jaccard = 76%.

Enhance the delineation of masked structures in southern Iraq by applying the Biharmonic operator to their gravity field.

The gravity field of southern Iraq shows steep gradient of regional trend. The gravity contours over the anticline structures in this area do not show the closure characteristic of these structures. The effect of lateral density variation for Hormuz Salt complicates the case in the area. Higher derivatives are one of the means that have been used to remove the effect of such regional gravity variations, which can easily mask significant structures. Biharmonic Operator is used to delineate these distort structures, follow their extent and at the same time distinguish new features. The Biharmonic operator manipulation has ability to suppress the effect of regional and enhance the local anomalies. The problem with higher derivatives operati

Managing the Utilization of Preventive Measures for Fire Resistance in the Hospitals
Abstract<p>The study analyzed the current situation of public hospitals in the capital of Baghdad exclusively and diagnosed the resources available; especially after the high demand for these hospitals as a result of the citizen’s need to review the hospital to take care of them, especially after the Corona pandemic. Eight major hospitals in Baghdad were selected to determine the current reality of providing fire safety tools or equipment and what are the preventive measures needed to reduce it. The results after practical study showed many defects and weaknesses in the current situation due to their reliance on the traditional management to manage and provide all preventive measures and safet</p> ...

An Application of Non-additive Measures and Corresponding Integrals in Tourism Management

Non-additive measures and corresponding integrals originally have been introduced by Choquet in 1953 (1) and independently defined by Sugeno in 1974 (2) in order to extend the classical measure by replacing the additivity property to non-additive property. An important feature of non –additive measures and fuzzy integrals is that they can represent the importance of individual information sources and interactions among them. There are many applications of non-additive measures and fuzzy integrals such as image processing, multi-criteria decision making, information fusion, classification, and pattern recognition. This paper presents a mathematical model for discussing an application of non-additive measures and corresp

Federal Tax control in Taxation Domain and its reform measures in Iraq

Federal oversight is successful in collecting taxes when it saves time and money, and the majority of federal systems tend to adopt direct administration in the application of federal tax laws to finance public expenditure. Central control will prevent tax competition between regions, and administrative corruption.

In Iraq, regional governments are responsible for collecting federal taxes and under the supervision of the Financial Control Bureau, and the reform of supervision requires the rehabilitation of the administration, the adoption of information systems, and the reduction of bureaucracy, and the transparency and federal coordination.

A Proposed Background Modeling Algorithm for Moving Object Detection Using Statistical Measures

Extracting moving object from video sequence is one of the most important steps
in the video-based analysis. Background subtraction is the most commonly used
moving object detection methods in video, in which the extracted object will be
feed to a higher-level process ( i.e. object localization, object tracking ).
The main requirement of background subtraction method is to construct a
stationary background model and then to compare every new coming frame with it
in order to detect the moving object.
Relied on the supposition that the background occurs with the higher appearance
frequency, a proposed background reconstruction algorithm has been presented
based on pixel intensity classification ( PIC ) approach.

The Theory of Quantity in Measures and Scales a Comparative Jurisprudential Study

Every body has a size and mass that distinguishes it from others and makes it different from others. Some of these bodies are huge and large in size, and some are small and light in weight. Among these masses and bodies are some that are dealt with by their size and weight, each according to its quantity, weight, and cheapness. This is why they created quantities by which these weights and quantities could be estimated, so they used measures and weights for that. Objectives: The research aims to know some measures and weights, such as the wife’s maintenance, the amount of zakat, etc.I found it to be a widely spread topic, and widely used in the folds of jurisprudence. During my reading of jurisprudence books, I found jurists using many qu
