Issues with xseek #5



The first search has the keywords - name headquarters hub founded founder
and the second one has everything but "founder"

when a list of attributes are queried, all those that are available should be displayed

Issues with xseek #4


Keywords: ceo name headquarters 
Result: doesn't show airline name!
Solution: Lemme figure out the cause first.

Issues with xseek #3


Xseek doesn't accomodate smart keyword search like google does.

i.e. doesnt support things like "-" (to eliminate), "" (quotes - combined occurence) etc

Issues with xseek #1b

                                                          

Same issue, different example..just to get the point across :)

Issues with xseek #2


Keywords: british airways lounge
Result: Gives the entire subtree under airline as opposed to just the lounge name. Issue arises cos of "Terrace lounge"
Solution: 
1Maybe solved through modifying keyword search algorithm.
2. More intelligent result selection -> when attribute & value both have the keywords and value has something more than just the keyword..don't recognise the keyword in the value
wow, thats quite convoluted! :P

Issues with xseek #1


Keywords : name 1924
Result:Returns all the "names" under common lowest anscestor..though the required name is just British Airways
Solution: Return most relevant thro
1. closeness relation between keywords
2. if keyword demands info on a certain param (like name), find CLA and return nearest param


boss and me - chapter#2

Its been 3 months since I supposedly started working on my project and I had met my prof for 4 mins and 27 secs. So, I decided its time I pay a visit. 

the PURPOSE : 
WHAT TO RESULTS TO RETURN after keyword search is done?

makes life easier for me since I found that problem pretty interesting and intuitive. 

Tasks before chapter#3 with the boss

1. Find flaws with Xseek way of picking results and the results
    1a.  Get the code from the paper author and use it against him
    1b.  Play around with the demo
    1c.  See whats missing!

2. Read paper on CLOSEST AXIS

now, back to watching tropic thunder ;)
