●Keyword Recommendation so far:
Recommending Keywords based on the Information
Provider’s Intention
↓
Recommended Keywords: Chosen among the words that
Occur in many common documents as input keyword
11
Problems in KW Recommendation from the
Information Provider’s Side

Relation based on the co-occurrence is different
from the one that will help the users in creating
ideas for information finding

Information providers can put popularly used but
unrelated keywords in their documents with the
intention that their documents are searched as
many times as possible.
12
●Our Approach to Keyword Recommendation
Choosing keywords among those used by other users
↓
Analyzing the records of the users’ search log-data
and get the keywords for recommendation.
Points:
・The keywords used in searching documents reflect
the searcher’s(user’s) intention.
・Searching log is useful to find the relationship
between the users and the keywords.
