Abstract
A new weighting scheme for vector space model is presented to improve retrieval performance for an information retrieval system. In addition, a dimension compression method is introduced to reduce the computational cost of the weighting approach. The main idea of this approach is to consider not only occurrence terms but also absent terms in finding similarity patterns among document and query vectors. With a basic information retrieval development system which we are now developing, we evaluate the effect of the balanced weighting scheme and compare it with various combinations of weighting schemes in terms of retrieval performance. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme produces similar recall-precision results to the cosine measure, but more importantly enhances retrieval effectiveness. Since the scheme is based on the cosine measure, it is certain that it has insensitivity to weight variance. The results have convincingly illustrated that the new approach is effective and applicable.
