In this lecture I discuss some aspects of MKM, Mathematical Knowledge Management, with particuar emphasis on information storage and information retrieval. MSCS: 68P20, 68T30 Key w...
The retrieval performance of an information retrieval system usually increases when it uses the relationships among the terms contained in a given document collection. However, th...
Abstract In this paper, we describe our Question Answering (QA) system called QUANTUM. The goal of QUANTUM is to find the answer to a natural language question in a large document ...
In information retrieval, the cluster hypothesis states: closely related documents tend to be relevant to the same request. We exploit this hypothesis directly by adjusting queryb...
An information retrieval performance measure that is interpreted as the percent of perfect performance (PPP) can be used to study the effects of the inclusion of specific documen...
Information retrieval systems consist of many complicated components. Research and development of such systems is often hampered by the difficulty in evaluating how each particula...
