A search strategy for large document bases
Dario Lucarella · 1988
this paper, we emphasize the need of modelling the inherent uncertainty associated with the information retrieval process. Within this context, a search strategy is proposed for locating documents which are likely to be relevant to a given query. A notion of closeness between document(s) and query is introduced and the implementation of an improved algorithm for the identification of the closest document set is presented with emphasis on computational efficiency.
