Applications of Approximate Word Matching in Information Retrieval . In CIKM, 1997. We will show that using the alternate representations of the affiliation string is helpful, but it does not allow fine control over the types of errors allowed. We have performed experiments on a small subset of the collection using this new approach. We have performed experiments on a small subset of the collection using this new approach.
Experiments using the full collection are forthcoming.

These results are shown in Table 1. Applications of Approximate Word Matching in Information Retrieval .
