- Abstract
- This paper presents a mathematical definition of the "probability-weighted amount of information" (PWI), a measure of specificity of terms in documents that is based on an information-theoretic view of retrieval events. The proposed PWI is expressed as a product of the occurrence probabilities of terms and their amounts of information, and corresponds well with the conventional term frequency - inverse document frequency measures that are commonly used in today's information retrieval systems. The mathematical definition of the PWI is shown, together with some illustrative examples of the calculation.
