Some phases of the current Arabic IR (AIR) framework have several drawbacks. This research aims to enhance an AIR by improving the processes in a conventional IR framework. We introduce an enhanced stop-word list in the pre-processing level and investigate several Arabic stemmers. In addition, an Arabic WordNet was utilized in the corpus and query expansion levels. We also adopted semantic information for the Pseudo Relevance Feedback. The enhanced Arabic IR framework was built and evaluated using TREC 2001 data. The technique of using the Arabic WordNet to build a semantic relationship between query and corpus in two levels, that is, the corpus and query levels, is a new one. The enhanced AIR framework demonstrated an improvement by 49% in terms of mean average precision, with an increase of 7.3% in recall compared with the baseline framework.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0165551515594722","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,9]],"date-time":"2015-07-09T21:31:15Z","timestamp":1436477475000},"page":"246-260","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Semantically enhanced pseudo relevance feedback for Arabic information retrieval"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"42","author":[{"given":"Jaffar","family":"Atwan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masnizah","family":"Mohd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hasan","family":"Rashaideh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Al-Balqa\u2019 Applied University, Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ghassan","family":"Kanaan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amman Arab University, Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"bibr1-0165551515594722","first-page":"22","volume":"16","author":"Church KW","year":"1990","journal-title":"Computer Linguistics"},{"key":"bibr2-0165551515594722","first-page":"156","volume-title":"Second international conference on Arabic language resources and tools","author":"Riyad Al-Shalabi","year":"2009"},{"key":"bibr3-0165551515594722","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/243199.243202"},{"key":"bibr4-0165551515594722","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511809071"},{"key":"bibr5-0165551515594722","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/IEEEGCC.2011.5752576"},{"issue":"5","key":"bibr6-0165551515594722","first-page":"44","volume":"11","author":"Belkredim FZ","year":"2009","journal-title":"Communications of the IBIMA"},{"key":"bibr7-0165551515594722","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S1793840608001901"},{"issue":"1","key":"bibr8-0165551515594722","first-page":"24","volume":"9","author":"Beseiso M","year":"2010","journal-title":"International Journal of Computer Applications IJCA"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr9-0165551515594722","first-page":"67","volume":"3","author":"Hoseini Ma-S","year":"2011","journal-title":"International Journal of Academic Research"},{"key":"bibr10-0165551515594722","first-page":"497","volume-title":"Experts meeting on Arabic ontologies and semantic networks","author":"Jarrar M","year":"2011"},{"key":"bibr11-0165551515594722","first-page":"15","volume-title":"The tenth conference. on language engineering organised by Egyptian Society of Language Engineering (ESOLEC\u20192010)","author":"Moawad IF"},{"key":"bibr12-0165551515594722","unstructured":"Liu S.
