Abstract

Form-based Web queries are commonly used by Web users for extracting information from the Web. However, some hidden information cannot be retrieved from the Web interface, which results in the limited query answerability through the Web. We present a system that can increase the amount of information to answer users' queries. The design of our system includes (i) the introduction of a Web query rewriting model that handles any form-based query, and (ii) the evaluation of input queries using answers to previous, relevant queries. Experimental data shows that our query rewriting approach achieves more expected answers.
