The research focused on search and retrieval of full-text documents with short natural language (NL) queries. They also look at data fusion with the assumption taht a number of well-developed and specialized retrieval functions would probabbly outperform a single well-developed but general function. The system research named EUREKA (End User Research Enquiry and Knowledge Acquisition) was used for carrying out the experiments. The paper describes a strategy for processing short NL queries and reports experiment results, describes a strategy for data fusion and presents related experimental results, describes a selective relevance feedback process and discusses related experimental results
