Abstract
INQUERY is a probablistic information retrieval system based upon a Bayesian inference network model. This paper describes recent improvements to the system as a result of participation in the TIPSTER project and the TREC-2 conference. Improvements include transforming forms-based specifications of information needs into complex structured queries, automatic query expansion, automatic recognition of features in documents, relevance feedback, and simulated document routing. Experiments with one and two gigabyte document collections are also described. To appear in Information Processing and Management. 1 Introduction The effectiveness of an information retrieval (IR) system depends upon representation and matching. The system must represent the information need, it must represent the documents, and it must determine how well the information need matches each document. Our approach has been to use improved representations of document text and queries in the framework of the inference ...
