Abstract

Query reformulation is one of the tasks in Information Retrieval (IR), which automatically creates new queries based on previous queries. The main challenge of query reformulation is to create a new query whose meaning or context is similar to the old query. Query reformulation can improve the search for relevant documents for Open-domain Question Answering (OpenQA). The more queries are given to the search system, and the more documents will be generated. We propose a Word Predicted and Substituted (WPS) method for query reformulation using a word embedding word2vec. We tested this method on the Indonesian Question Answering System (IQAS). The test results obtained an E-1 value of 81% and an E-2 value of 274%. These results prove that the query reformulation method with WPS and word-embedding can improve the search for potential IQAS answers.
