An entropy-based term weighting scheme and its application in e-commerce search engines

Résumé

Term weighting schemes are commonly used in information retrieval field to extract the most relevant terms of documents. The main contribution of this paper consists in defining a new term weighting scheme based on entropy. We believe that this scheme is particularly well adapted to compare queries from e-commerce sites. These queries have their own specificities. They tend to be short and a large proportion of them are unique queries, i.e. have no historical record. We claim that widely used weighting schemes, such as tf-idf, are not well-adapted to this kind of queries. This claim is backed up by numerical experiments where the proposed entropy-based approach is incorporated into a collabora-tive filtering framework. In this framework, well suited to e-commerce search engines, we found out, on real e-commerce purchase data, that the proposed weighting scheme outperforms the tf-idf weighting scheme.
