Enhancing information retrieval by automatic acquisition of textual relations using genetic programming

We have explored a novel method to find textual relations in electronic documents using genetic programming and semantic networks. This can be used for enhancing information retrieval and simplifying user interfaces. The automatic extraction of relations from text enables easier updating of electronic dictionaries and may reduce interface area both for search input and hit output on small screens such as cell phones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants). Keywords Genetic programming, machine learning, natural language processing, semantic networks, information retrieval.
