Search Term Relevance Weighting Given Little Relevance Information.
Jones, Karen Sparck
Journal of Documentation, v35 n1 p30-48 Mar 1979
The present experiments were designed to study the effects of search term weighting based on very limited relevance information, supplied, for example, by one or two relevant documents. The tests simulated iterative searching as in an on-line system and show that even very little relevance information can be extremely valuable. A list of references is included. (Author/JD)
