RESUMO
This paper introduces a new connectionist network for certain domain-specific text-retrieval and search applications with expert end users. A new model reference adaptive system is proposed that involves three learning phases. Initial model-reference learning is first performed based upon an ensemble set of input-output of an initial reference model. Model-reference following is needed in dynamic environments where documents are added, deleted, or updated. Relevance feedback learning from multiple expert users then optimally maps the original query using either a score-based or a click-through selection process. The learning can be implemented, in regression or classification modes, using a three-layer network. The first layer is an adaptable layer that performs mapping from query domain to document space. The second and third layers perform document-to-term mapping, search/retrieval, and scoring tasks. The learning algorithms are thoroughly tested on a domain-specific text database that encompasses a wide range of Hewlett Packard (HP) products and for a large number of most commonly used single- and multiterm queries.

The derivations of a novel approach for simultaneous recursive weight adaptation and node creation in multilayer backpropagation neural networks are presented. The method uses time and order update formulations in the orthogonal projection method to derive a recursive weight updating procedure for the training process of the neural network and a recursive node creation algorithm for weight adjustment of a layer with added nodes during the training process. The proposed approach allows optimal dynamic node creation in the sense that the mean-squared error is minimized for each new topology. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated on several benchmark problems (the multiplexer and the decoder problems) as well as a real world application for detection and classification of buried dielectric anomalies using a microwave sensor.
