Shallow NLP techniques for internet search
Alex Penev, Raymond K. Wong · 2006
Information Retrieval (IR) is a major component in many of our daily activities, with perhaps its most prominent role manifested in search engines. Today's most advanced engines use the keyword-based ("bag of words") paradigm, which concedes some inherent disadvantages. We believe that natural language (NL) is a more user-oriented, context-preservative and intuitive mechanism for web search.
