A Rule-Based Short Query Intent Identification System
Using SMS (Short Message System), cell phones can be used to query for
information about various topics. In an SMS based search system, one of the key
problems is to identify a domain (broad topic) associated with the user query;
so that a more comprehensive search can be carried out by the domain specific
search engine. In this paper we use a rule based approach, to identify the
domain, called Short Query Intent Identification System (SQIIS). We construct
two different rule-bases using different strategies to suit query intent
identification. We evaluate the two rule-bases experimentally.Comment: 5 pages, 2010 International Conference on Signal and Image Processing

A survey of SMS based Information Systems
Short Message Service (SMS) based Information Systems (SMSbIS) provide an
excellent alternative to a traditional approach of obtaining specific
information by direct (through phone) or indirect (IVRS, Web, Email) probing.
Information and communication technology and far reaching mobile penetration
has opened this new research trend Number of key players in Search industry
including Microsoft and Google are attracted by the expected increase in volume
of use of such applications. The wide range of applications and their public
acceptance has motivated researchers to work in this research domain. Several
applications such as SMS based information access using database management
services, SMS based information retrieval through internet (search engine), SMS
based information extraction, question answering, image retrieval etc. have
been emerged. With the aim to understand the functionality involved in these
systems, an extensive review of a few of these SMSbISs has been planned and
executed by us. These systems are classified into four categories based on the
objectives and domains of the applications. As a result of this study a well
structured functional model is presented here. The model is evaluated in
different dimensions, which is presented in this paper. In addition to this a
chronological progress with respect to research and development in this
upcoming field is compiled in this paper. Such an extensive review presented in
this paper would definitely help the researchers and developers to understand
the technical aspects of this field. The functional framework presented here
would be useful to the system designers to design and develop an SMS based
Information System of any specific domain.Comment: 17 pages 3 Figures 5 Table
