- Abstract
- Evaluates the retrieval effectiveness of query expansion strategies on a test collection of the medical database MEDLINE using Cornell University's SMART retrieval system. Tests 3 expansion strategies for their ability to identify appropriate MeSH terms for user queries. Compares retrieval effectiveness using the original unexpanded and the alternative expanded user queries on a collection of 75 queries and 2.334 Medline citations. Recommends query expansions using retrieval feedback for adding MeSH search terms to a user's initial query
