A Mathematical Formula Retrieval Method Using Structure Sub-Tree

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is quite inadequate in providing formula retrieval function by traditional retrieval techniques used in full-text information retrieval system. The main reason is that there are many difficulties to extract the keywords of the mathematical formulas. In this paper, a detailed analysis of the structural characteristics of mathematical formulas and existing index mechanism of mathematical formula searching engine is fulfilled. Then a full-text index (named SLIndex) of mathematical formulas with B+ tree structure is designed and implemented which extracts the structured logic sub-tree feature as keywords of formulas and employs inverted index. Finally, a formula search engine model based on SLIndex is implemented in Apache 2.0 web server.
