GE in TREC-2: results of a Boolean approximation method for routing and retrieval
Paul S. Jacobs · Text REtrieval Conference · 1993
This report describes a few experiments aimed at producing high accuracy routing and retrieval with a simple Boolean engine. There are several motivations for this work, including: (1) using Boolean term combinatinations as a filter for advanced extraction systems, (2) improving legacy Boolean retrieval system by helping to automate the generation of Boolean queries, and (3) focusing on query content, rather than retrieval or ranking, as the key to system performance
