Evaluation of an Expert System for Searching in Full Text
Authors: Susan Gauch
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1990

This paper presents a prototype expert system which provides online search assistance. The expert system automatically reformulates queries, using an online thesaurus as the source of domain knowledge, and a knowledge base of domain-independent search tactics. The expert system works with a full-text database which requires no syntactic or semantic pre-processing. In addition, the expert system ranks the retrieved passages in decreasing order of probable relevance.

EXPRESS: An Experimental Interface for Factual Information Retrieval
Authors: Heinz Ulrich Hoppe, Karin Ammersbach, Barbara Lutes-Schaab, Gaby Zinßmeister
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1990

The EXPRESS system has been designed and implemented in order to explore methods for user assistance in accessing complexly structured factual databases, e.g. relational product databases. Terminological support in this area has to take into account that different controlled vocabularies may be used in a variety of attributes spread over several relations. In our approach, traditional thesaurus structures are extended in order to cope with these problems and to encode further domain-specific knowledge. User support in query reformulation is based on this enriched thesaurus as well as on the local evaluation of the retrieved data sets. Concepts for the representation of retrieval strategies in the form of plans and their potential use in future systems are discussed.
On the Interrelationship of Dictionary Size and Completeness
Authors: Hubert Hüther
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1990

When dictionaries for specific applications or subject fields are derived from a text collection, the frequency distribution of the terms in the collection gives information about the expected completeness of the dictionary. If only a subset of the terms in the collection is to be included in the dictionary, the completeness of the dictionary can be optimized with respect to dictionary size.
Construction of a Dynamic Thesaurus and its Use for Associated Information Retrieval
Authors: Haruo Kimoto, Toshiaki Iwadera
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1990

An information retrieval system based on a dynamic thesaurus was developed utilizing the connectionist approach. The dynamic thesaurus consists of nodes, which represent each term of a thesaurus, and links, which represent the connections between nodes. Term information that is automatically extracted from user's relevant documents is used to change node weights and generate links. Node weights and links reflect a user's particular interest. A document retrieval experiment was conducted in which both a high recall rate and a high precision rate were achieved.
A Dynamic Signature Technique for Multimedia Databases
Authors: Fausto Rabitti, Pavel Zezula
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1990

A signature file acts as a filtering mechanism to reduce the amount of data that needs to be searched during query evaluation. Even though several techniques for organizing and searching signature files have been proposed in literature, they have serious limitations when applied to multimedia databases, where integrated access methods to text and image content are needed. A new signature technique, called Quick Filter, is proposed in the paper. According to this technique, signatures are divided into partitions, each of which holds signatures sharing the same characteristic key. As a result, it is possible to determine if the signatures in a partition satisfy a query by merely examining the key. Partitions not matching the key need not be searched. This method is based on dynamic hashing since signatures are hashed into partitions according to the keys and the file size, computed algorithmically from the signatures. Implementation of this technique is illustrated using an example and is verified by analytical performance evaluation. The result is a signature technique which satisfies the requirements for access methods in multimedia databases: dynamicity, with respect to insertions and updates, good query processing performance on large databases for high-weight queries.
Extended Boolean Retrieval: A Heuristic Approach?
Authors: Ronald Rousseau
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1990

We show that the similarity measures for p-norm retrieval, as defined by Salton, Fox and Wu have some undesirable mathematical properties. We propose a new function that remedies some of these drawbacks. Still, even for this new similarity measure the extended Boolean model has some properties which can only be described as 'heuristic'.
Using Syntactic Analysis in a Document Retrieval System that uses Signature Files
Authors: Ron Sacks-Davis, Peter Wallis
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1990

Our work involves the study of the extent to which natural language processing techniques aid the automatic indexing and retrieval of documents. In this paper we describe the use of signature files in large text retrieval systems. We show that good performance can be obtained without requiring the significant overheads required for the inverted file technique. We examine the use of syntactic analysis of the text in all stages of retrieval and argue that an initial Boolean query should be performed that provides a subset of documents, which are then ranked. We then give an algorithm for generating such queries, taking into account the syntactic structure of the queries.
Partitioned Posting Files: A Parallel Inverted File Structure for Information Retrieval
Authors: Craig Stanfill
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1990

This paper describes algorithms and data structures for applying a parallel computer to information retrieval. Previous work has described an implementation based on overlap encoded signatures. That system was limited by 1) the necessity of keeping the signatures in primary memory, and 2) the difficulties involved in implementing document-term weighting. Overcoming these limitations requires adapting the inverted index techniques used on serial machines. The most obvious adaptation, also previously described, suffers from the fact that data must be sent between processors at query-time. Since interprocessor communication is generally slower than local computation, this suggests that an algorithm which does not perform such communication might be faster. This paper presents a data structure, called a partitioned posting file, in which the interprocessor communication takes place at database-construction time, so that no data movement is needed at query-time. Algorithms for constructing the data structure are also described. Performance characteristics and storage overhead are established by benchmarking against a synthetic database.

A Two-Level Hypertext Retrieval Model for Legal Data
Authors: Maristella Agosti, Roberto Colotti, Girolamo Gradenigo
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1991

This paper introduces an associative information retrieval model based on the two-level architecture proposed in [Agosti et al, 1989a] and[Agostiet al, 1990], andan experimental prototype developed in order to validate the model in a personal computing environment. In the fiist part of the paper, related work and motivations are presented. In the second pert, the model, entitled EXPLICIT, is introduced. EXPLICIT is basedon a two-level architecture which holds the two main parts of the informative resource managed by an information retrieval tool: the collection of documents and the indexing term structure. Theterm structure is managed as a schema of concepts which can be used by the final user as a frame of reference in the query formulation process. llemodel supports theconcurrent use of different schemas of concepts to satisfy information needs of different categories of users. Inthethird part of the paper, the main characteristics of the experimental prototype, named HyperLaw, are presented.
Addressing the Requirements of a Dynamic Corporate Textual Information Base
Authors: Peter G. Anick, Rex A. Flynn, David R. Hanssen
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1991

AI-STARS is a lexicon-assisted full-text Information Retrieval system, designed for use in a dynamic corporate environment. In this paper, we explore how the requirements of such an environment have influenced many key aspects of the design and implementation of the AI-STARS system. We promote the use of "views" to create logical partitions in large, heterogeneous databases, and argue that storing not only article instances, but also class defhitions, stored queries, display templates and linguistic data in a single object repository has consequences that can be exploited for schema and lexicon evolution, security and subject filtering, information navigation, and data distribution. structured information objects. Next we consi&r querying on semi-stmctured objects and show how the notion of storing queries can & exploited to support multiple logical "views" of large databases. We then describe how our lexical and linguistic knowledge can take advantage of the object-oriented infrastmcture as well, arguing that a uniform representation of heterogeneous objects simplifies the tasks of data security, p~tioning, and distribution. We conclude with a dkcussion of implementation status and issues, related research, and user interface implications.

Querying Office Systems About Document Roles
Authors: Augusto Celentano, Maria Grazia Fugini, Silvano Pozzi
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1991

This paper describes the architecture of a document retrieval system integrating classical IR features with knowledge about the procedural and application context where documents are used. The paper focuses on the query language that allows the user to pose queries involving the analysis of both the semantic network where procedures, office agents, and events of the office context are represented as elements accessing, modifying, filing, manipulating document, and the document contents, i.e. their text. The coupling of the query system with a browser tool is also discussed. The system relies on a knowledge representation model for document and document roles developed in previous phases of the research.

On the Allocation of Documents in Multiprocessor Information Retrieval Systems
Authors: Ophir Frieder, Hava T. Siegelmann
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1991

Abstract. Information retrieval is the selection of documents that are potentially relevant to a user’s information need. Given the vast volume of data stored in modern information retrieval systems, searching the document database requires vast computational resources. To meet these computational demands, various researchers have developed parallel information retrieval systems. As efficient exploitation of parallelism demands fast access to the documents, data organization and placement significantly affect the total processing time. We describe and evaluate a data placement strategy for distributed memory, distributed 1/0 multicomputers. Initially, a formal description of the Multiprocessor Document Allocation Problem (MDAP) and a proof that MDAP is NP Complete are presented. A document allocation

Retrieving Software Objects in an Example-Based Programming Environment
Authors: Scott Henningen
Venue: SIGIR
Year: 1991

Example-based programming is a form of software reuse in which existing code examples are modified to meet current task needs. Example-based programming systems that have enough exampIes to be useful present the problem of finding relevant examples. A prototype system named CODEFINDER, which explores issues of retrieving software objects relevant to the design task, is presented. CODEFINDER supports human-computer dialogue by providing the means to incrementally construct a query and by providing associative cues that are compatible with human memory retrieval principles.
