A distributed information retrieval method in peer-to-peer network

【摘要】 To avoid the scalability of the existing systems that employed centralized indexing,index flooding or query flooding,we proposed an efficient peer-to-peer information retrieval system SPIRS (Semantic P2P-based Information Retrieval System) that supported state-of-the-art content and semantic searches. SPIRS distributes document indices through P2P network hierarchically by Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) and organizes nodes into a hierarchical overlay through CAN and TRIE. Comparing with other P2P search techniques,those based on simple keyword matching,SPIRS has better accuracy for considering the advanced relevance among documents. Given a query,only a small number of nodes are needed for SPIRS to identify the matching documents. Furthermore,both theoretical analysis and experimental results show that SPIRS possesses higher accuracy and less logic hops.更多还原
