- Abstract
- Zhou and Zhang believe that for the potential of natural language processing NLP to be reached in information retrieval a framework for guiding the effort should be in place. They provide a graphic model that identifies different levels of natural language processing effort during the query, document matching process. A direct matching approach uses little NLP, an expansion approach with thesauri, little more, but an extraction approach will often use a variety of NLP techniques, as well as statistical methods. A transformation approach which creates intermediate representations of documents and queries is a step higher in NLP usage, and a uniform approach, which relies on a body of knowledge beyond that of the documents and queries to provide inference and sense making prior to matching would require a maximum NPL effort.
