Title

Boolean and nearest neighbour text searching in a multi-strategy retrieval system

Source

Library science with a slant to documentation and information studies. 33(1996) no.1, S.29-38

Year

1996

Abstract

Information retrieval systems based on the Boolean model have been popular for some time. A major challenge to this model has come from the development of approaches based on the vector processing model. Both search strategies are explained and evaluated. Describes an experimental study in an opertational environment to compare the retrieval effectiveness of Boolean and nearest neighbour searching in a multi-strategy retrieval system based on query characteristic variables. Considers the significance of the results of the study
