- Abstract
- The results of modelling the performance of searching large text databases (>10 GBytes) via various parallel hardware architectures and search algorithms are discussed. The performance under load and the cost of each configuration are compared. Strengths, weaknesses, performance sensitivities, and search features supported for each configuration are also addressed. In addition, a common search workload used in the modelling is described. The search workload is derived from a set of searches run against the Chemical Abstracts file of bibliographic and abstract text available on STN International. This common workload is applied to all configurations modelled to provide a common basis of comparison

- Abstract
- Proposes the weight partitioned signature file, a signature file organization for supporting document ranking. It uses multiple signature files each corresponding to one term frequency to represent terms with different term frequencies. Words with the same term frequency in a document are grouped together and hased into the signature file corresponding to that term frequency. Investigates the effect of false drops on retrieval effectiveness. Analyses the performance of the weight partitioned signature file under different search strategies and configurations. Obtains an optimal formula for storage allocation to minimise the effect of false drops on document ranks. Analytical results are supported by experiments on document collections

- Abstract
- Reports on a research project to evaluate and compare Boolean searching and methods of query reformulation using ranked output retrieval. Illustrates the design and operating features of the ranked output system, called ROSE (Ranked Output Search Engine), by means of typical results obtained by searching a database of 1239 records on the subject of cystic fibrosis. Concludes that further work is needed to determine the best reformulation tactics needed to harness the professional searcher's intelligence with that much more limited intelligence provided by the search software

- Abstract
- A thesaurus may be viewed as a graph, and document retrieval algorithms can exploit this graph when both the documents and the query are represented by thesaurus terms. These retrieval algorithms measure the distance between the query and documents by using the path lengths in the graph. Previous work witj such strategies has shown that the hierarchical relations in the thesaurus are useful but the non-hierarchical are not. This paper shows that when the query explicitly mentions a particular non-hierarchical relation, the retrieval algorithm benefits from the presence of such relations in the thesaurus. Our algorithms were applied to the Excerpta Medica bibliographic citation database whose citations are indexed with terms from the EMTREE thesaurus. We also created an enriched EMTREE by systematically adding non-hierarchical relations from a medical knowledge base. Our algorithms used at one time EMTREE and, at another time, the enriched EMTREE in the course of ranking documents from Excerpta Medica against queries. When, and only when, the query specifically mentioned a particular non-hierarchical relation type, did EMTREE enriched with that relation type lead to a ranking that better corresponded to an expert's ranking
