Title

Using nearest-neighbour searching techniques to access full-text documents

Abstract

Summarises the results to date of a continuing programme of research at Sheffield Univ. to investigate the use of nearest-neighbour retrieval algorithms for full text searching. Given a natural language query statement, the research methods result in a ranking of the paragraphs comprising a full text document in order of decreasing similarity with the query, where the similarity for each paragraph is determined by the number of keyword stems that it has in common with the query
