SRC Technical Note, 1997-015. A Copy Detection Mechanism for Digital Documents. Proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries, Austin, Texas, 1995. This is a site where one can access a large number of databases related to statistics from India. Of course this is not possible, so the realistic goal is to have high precision and recall.
Some queries are short while others have a more verbose description.
Many queries in TREC are such that the documents that are judged to be relevant to these queries do not contain any of the words in the query. Such questions can be answered by looking at a graph between the documents and words. Cluster web search results. Typically they use words either in the text or in the HTML tags to cluster their results. This project would explore the feasibility of using Fisher's linear discriminats for classifying small document collections, and then explore computationally efficient variants.
