Description
Summary:The amount of data is continually growing and the ability to efficiently search through vast amounts of data is almost always sought after. To efficiently find data in a set there exist many technologies and methods but all of them cost in the form of resources like cpu-cycles, memory and storage. In this study a search engine (SE) is optimized using several methods and techniques. Thesis looks into how to optimize a SE that is based on an external revision database.The optimized implementation is compared to a non-optimized implementation when executing a query. An artificial neural network (ANN) trained on a dataset containing 3 years normal usage at a company is used to prioritize within the resultset before returning the result to the caller. The new indexing algorithms have improved the document space complexity by removing all duplicate documents that add no value. Machine learning (ML) has been used to analyze the user behaviour to reduce the necessary amount of documents that gets retrieved by a query.
