    Abstract
    Data dependencies are used in database schema design to enforce the correctness of a database as well as to reduce redundant data. These dependencies are usually determined from the semantics of the attributes and are then enforced upon the relations. Describes a bottom-up procedure for discovering multivalued dependencies in observed data without knowing a priori the relationships among the attributes. The proposed algorithm is an application of the technique designed for learning conditional independencies in probabilistic reasoning. A prototype system for automated database schema design has been implemented. Experiments were carried out to demonstrate both the effectiveness and efficiency of the method

    Abstract
    Examines and extends the logical models of information retrieval in the context of probability theory and extends the applications of these fundamental ideas to term weighting and relevance. Develops a unified framework for modelling the retrieval process with probabilistic inference to provide a common conceptual and mathematical basis for many retrieval models, such as Boolean, fuzzy sets, vector space, and conventional probabilistic models. Employs this framework to identify the underlying assumptions by each model and analyzes the inherent relationships between them. Although the treatment is primarily theoretical, practical methods for rstimating the required probabilities are provided by simple examples

    Abstract
    The subject of query formulation is analysed within the framework of adaptive linear models. The study is based on the notions of user preference and an acceptable ranking strategy. A gradient descent algorithm is used to formulate the query vector by an inductive process. Presents a critical analysis of the existing relevance feedback and probabilistic approaches.

    Abstract
    Reports on the experimental evaluation of an adaptive linear model that constructs improved user query vectors from user preference judgements on a sample set of documents. The performance of this method is compared with that of the standard relevance feedback techniques. The experimental results seem to demonstrate the effectiveness of the adaptive method
