- Abstract
- A corpus of 242 abstracts of Arabic documents on computer science and information systems using the Proceedings of the Saudi Arabian National Conferences as a source was put together. Reports on the design and building of an automatic information retrieval system from scratch to handle Arabic data. Both automatic and manual indexing techniques were implemented. Experiments using measures of recall and precision has demonstrated that automatic indexing is at least as effective as manual indexing and more effective in some cases. Automatic indexing is both cheaper and faster. Results suggests that a wider coverage of the literature can be achieved with less money and produce as good results as with manual indexing. Compares the retrieval results using words as index terms versus stems and roots, and confirms the results obtained by Al-Kharashi and Abu-Salem with smaller corpora that root indexing is more effective than word indexing
