    Abstract
    Relevance is defined as a measure of information conveyed by a document relative to a query.It is shown that the relationship between the document and the query, though necessary, is not sufficient to determine relevance

    Abstract
    A search procedure for an information retrieval system is developed whereby the answer to a question is obtained by maximizing an evaluation function of the system's output in terms of the probility of relevance. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for a set to be an answer to a query. A partition of the file is made in such way that all documents belonging to the answer are members of the same class. Hence the answer can be generated by one relevant document. In this manner a search of the total file is avoided

    Abstract
    The information retrieval process, treated strictly as a matching procedure, has the defects that the whole file must be probed for each query, and that it overlooks the facts that the relevance of the information from one document depends upon what is already known about the subject, and in turn affects the relevance of other documents subsequently examined. A mathematical model of a search technique in which the defects of the direct method are taken into account is demonstrated by an experiment in which a given paper is treated as an enquiry and the references cited in the paper are treated as relevant answers. The results in two tests show much better results than those achieved by the direct method. No spurious material was retrieved by either method
