Metric Multidimensional Information Space
Gregory B. Newby · 1996
The rationale and methodology for retrieval based on the relative locations of documents within a geometric information space are introduced. Results from category A routing and filtering experiments in TREC -5 are discussed. The techniques discussed are related to the vector space model, latent semantic indexing, and other methods that rely on statistical qualities of texts to assess document relatedness. Results show some promise, but additional research is needed to determine the extent to which retrieval may be improved over existing approaches.
