Abstract

Provides an introduction to the computational techniques that underlie best match searching retrieval systems. Discusses: problems of traditional Boolean systems; characteristics of best-match searching; automatic indexing; term conflation; matching of documents and queries (dealing with similarity measures, initial weights, relevance weights, and the matching algorithm); and describes operational best-match systems
