Abstract: Information retrieval based on keywords search retrieves irrelevant documents because of vocabulary gap between document content and search queries. The keyword vector representation of web documents is very high dimensional, and keyword terms are unable to capture the semantic of document content. Ontology has been built in various domains for representing the semantics of documents based on concepts relevant to document subject. The web documents often contain multiple topics; therefore, fuzzy c-means document clustering has been used for discovering clusters with overlapping boundaries. In this paper, the method is proposed for intelligent information retrieval using hybrid of fuzzy c-means clustering and ontology in query session mining. Thus, use of fuzzy clusters of web query session concept vector improve quality of clusters for effective web search. The proposed method was evaluated experimentally, and results show the improvement in precision of search results.
