A study of intents resolving for service discovery

Intents is an emerging framework which is employed for service discovery and integration. Currently the main strategy applied in Intents for resolving an intent message is exactly matching which may miss some valuable service candidates for the user. In order to address this issue, techniques in Information Retrieval (IR) are potential alternatives to find the missing services. This paper makes an empirical study of some classic IR techniques on a practical Intents dataset and demonstrates the findings of interest from the experiments which can be employed in designing matching schemes based on similarity.
