IJTPE Journal INFORMATION RETRIEVAL SCHEME VIA SIMILARITY TECHNIQUE
In computer science, retrieving Arabic information has become a major research topic. Searching and retrieving knowledge-based information from databases is known as information retrieval (IR). However, the influence of the stop word removal part has a high impact on the retrieved Arabic text. In order to demonstrate the effect of stop words in Arabic text, we used one of the most commonly used techniques, the Jaccard technique, in this paper. We used the Jaccard technique in two ways, the first with Arabic stop words and the second way without stop words. In the experiments, we collected property Arabic datasets manually. The Arabic information retrieval system showed promising results for Arabic texts in similarity between documents and texts. It gave higher accuracy while removing stop words compared to texts containing stop words.
