- Abstract
- In this paper methods for both speeding up passage processing and examining more passages using parallel computers are explored. The number of passages processed are varied in order to examine the effect on retrieval effectiveness and efficiency. The particular algorithm applied has previously been used to good effect in Okapi experiments at TREC. This algorithm and the mechanism for applying parallel computing to speed up processing are described.

- Abstract
- Reports text information retrieval experiments performed as part of the 3 rd round of Text Retrieval Conferences (TREC) using the Okapi online catalogue system at City University, UK. The emphasis in TREC-3 was: further refinement of term weighting functions; an investigation of run time passage determination and searching; expansion of ad hoc queries by terms extracted from the top documents retrieved by a trial search; new methods for choosing query expansion terms after relevance feedback, now split into methods of ranking terms prior to selection and subsequent selection procedures; and the development of a user interface procedure within the new TREC interactive search framework

- Abstract
- Briefly reviews the history of laboratory testing of information retrieval systems, focusing on the idea of a general purpose test collection of documents, queries and relevance judgements. Gives an overview of the methods used in TREC (Text Retrieval Conference) which is concerned with an ideal test collection, and discusses the Okapi team's participation in TREC. Also discusses some of the issues surrounding the difficult problem of interactive evaluation in TREC. The reconciliation of the requirements of the laboratory context with the concerns of interactive retrieval has a long way to go

- This paper is concerned with recent work in the theory of information retrieval. More particularly, it is concerned with theories which tackle the problem of retrieval performance, in a sense which will be explained. The aim is not an exhaustive survey of such work; rather it is an analysis and synthesis of those contributions which I feel to be important or find interesting

- Abstract
- Discusses the use of text retrieval methods based on the probabilistic model with Chinese language material. Since Chinese text has no natural word boundaries, either a dictionary based word segmentation method must be applied to the text, or indexing and searching must be done in terms of single Chinese characters. In either case, it becomes important to have a good way of dealing with phrases or contoguous strings of characters; the probabilistic model does not at present have such a facility. Proposes some ad hoc modifications of the probabilistic weighting function and matching method for this purpose

- Abstract
- In the framework of a relevance feedback system, term values or term weights may be used to (a) select new terms for inclusion in a query, and/or (b) weight the terms for retrieval purposes once selected. It has sometimes been assumed that the same weighting formula should be used for both purposes. This paper sketches a quantitative argument which suggests that the two purposes require different weighting formulae

- Abstract
- Gives a brief description of the Okapi projects and of the work of the centre for Interactive Systems Research in the Department of Information Science at City University, London,UK, where these projects have been developed. Describes firstly one version of an information retrieval system which contains some of the central features of the Okapi projects, and follows this with an indication of the variety of systems now implemented or implementable within the present setup
