Abstract

Examines the Maximum Extropy Principle (MEP) retrieving method using the TREC-5 database. Evaluates the MEP by several tests and compared with a naive ordering method and lexicographic ordering method. The MEP does not provide any startling improvement, and it works reasonably well only in the case of a small number of keys and a relatively small collection
