- Abstract
- Describes a latent semantic indexing (LSI) approach for improving information retrieval. Most document retrieval systems depend on matching keywords in queries against those in documents. The LSI approach tries to overcome the incompleteness and imprecision of latent relations among terms and documents. Tested performance of the LSI method ranged from considerably better than to roughly comparable to performance based on weighted keyword matching, apparently depending on the quality of the queries. Best LSI performance was found using a global entropy weighting for terms and about 100 dimensions for representing terms, documents and queries.
