Heinz, Steffen; Zobel, Justin – Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2003
Discusses index construction for text collections, reviews principal approaches to inverted indexes, analyzes their theoretical cost, and presents experimental results of the use of a single-pass inversion method on Web document collections. Shows that the single-pass approach is faster and does not require the complete vocabulary of the indexed…

Furner, Jonathan – Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology, 2002
Discusses recommendation, or preference ordering, in document retrieval systems that ranks documents in order of the likelihood with which they match the preferences of any person searching the system. Describes the ERIn (Evaluation-Recommendation-Information) model, a decision-theoretic framework for understanding information-related activity…

Turner, James M.; Hudon, Michele; Devin, Yves – Information Outlook, 2002
Describes a research project that studied the indexing of moving image collections for storage and retrieval. Highlights include techniques and tools used for representing the content of moving image collections that are indexed shot by shot; indexing languages used, including keywords, classification; thesauri, and subject headings; and lexical…

Srinivasan, Padmini – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1990
After reviewing the literature on automatic indexing research an experiment is described which examined term distribution and the effectiveness of the Two Poisson and Three Poisson Models in identifying good index terms. The conclusion reached is that these models should be applied with caution in document retrieval. (25 references) (EAM)

Wilson, Patrick – Library Quarterly, 1989
The second objective of the catalog is to show which editions are in a library. Two interpretations of this statement are contrasted: that of Akos Domanovszky, which represents current standard practice, and an alternative, which calls for extensive analysis of serials and collections, and explicit identification of publications with identical…

Thomas, Alan R. – International Journal of Information and Library Research, 1989
Discusses ambiguities in the terminology used for information retrieval in counseling and related fields, including disagreements over which terms to use, meanings of terms, and relationships between terms. The nature, causes, and consequences of these problems are considered and some solutions are offered, with special reference to the…

Shively, Daniel – Technical Services Quarterly, 1988
Discusses the need to retrieve ideas in addition to content retrieval by such means as classification, subject headings, and keywords. Three models for idea retrieval are described, and a new model is proposed which combines selection, a controlled vocabulary, and logical structure. (seven references) (CLB)

Bates, Marcia J. – Online, 1988
Explains seven types of subject descriptions commonly used in databases--hierarchical classification, category codes, subject headings, descriptors, faceted classification, post-controlled vocabulary, and natural language--and describes specific search techniques for taking advantage of the strengths of particular types of vocabularies. An overall…

Bartell, Brian T.; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1995
Discussion of the failure of individual keywords to identify conceptual content of documents in retrieval systems highlights Metric Similarity Modeling, a method for creating vector space representation of documents based on modeling target interdocument similarity values. Semantic relatedness, latent semantic indexing, an indexing and retrieval…

Burgin, Robert – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1995
Examines the retrieval effectiveness of five hierarchical clustering methods (single link, complete link, group average, Ward's method, and weighted average) as a function of indexing exhaustivity with four test collections. Evaluations of retrieval effectiveness are based on three measures of optimal retrieval performance. (Author/LRW)
