Models for Retrieval with Probabilistic Indexing.

Fuhr, Norbert

Information Processing and Management, v25 n1 p55-72 1989

Describes three models for probabilistic indexing, all based on the Darmstadt automatic indexing approach, and presents experimental evaluation results for each. The discussion covers the improved retrieval effectiveness of probabilistic indexing over binary indexing, and suggestions for using this automatic indexing method with free text terms.
