Leveraging app features to improve mobile app retrieval

Résumé

The continued increase in the use of smartphones and other mobile devices has led to a substantial increase in the demand for mobile applications. With the growing availability of mobile apps, retrieving the right application from a large set has become difficult. However, the existing term-based search engines tend to retrieve relevant apps based on query terms rather than considering app features really required by users, such as functionalities, technical or user-interface characteristics. The novelty of this paper lies in extracting app features from app description and social users' reviews, extracting user-requested features and matching between them to get the feature-based score. In addition, we propose effective techniques that extract and weight features requested in the query. Finally, we combine Feature-based and term-based scores together to obtain the app Copyright 20XX Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. 2 M. Chaa et al. relevance score. The experimental results indicate that the proposed approach is effective and outperforms the state-of-the-art retrieval models for app retrieval.
