ConQuR-Bio: Consensus Ranking with Query Reformulation for Biological Data
Résumé
This paper introduces ConQuR-Bio which aims at assisting scientists when they query public biological databases. Various reformu-lations of the user query are generated using medical terminologies. Such alternative reformulations are then used to rank the query results using a new consensus ranking strategy. The originality of our approach thus lies in using consensus ranking techniques within the context of query reformulation. The ConQuR-Bio system is able to query the Entrez-Gene NCBI database. Our experiments demonstrate the benefit of using ConQuR-Bio compared to what is currently provided to users. ConQuR-Bio is available to the bioinformatics community at http://conqur-bio.lri.fr.
