Probabilistic Learning for Selective Dissemination of Information.

Amati, Gianni; Crestani, Fabio

Information Processing & Management, v35 n5 p633-54 Sep 1999

Describes and evaluates a learning model for information filtering and selective dissemination of information which is an adaptation of the generalized probabilistic model of information retrieval. The model is based on the concept of uncertainty sampling that allows for relevance feedback both on relevant and nonrelevant documents. (Author/LRW)
