Text Information Retrieval

In this paper the existing functions of, and a number of future requirements for, information retrieval systems are dis cussed. Two basic requirements for free text information retri eval systems have been identified; one for a more general information modelling language and the other for a simple user interface for complex ad-hoc queries. The paper describes some existing and proposed hardware and software methods for implementing free text information retrieval systems. Emphasis is placed on methods of improving the functionality of the system rather than on methods of increasing the performance. It is suggested that considerable improvements can be achieved by a more imaginative use of existing hardware, though it is realised that special purpose architectures will play an increas ingly important role in information systems. The paper con cludes with a design for a new information retrieval system based on the use of the Binary Relationship Model for infor mation storage and retrieval, and an interactive graphical dis play for the user interface.

Text Information

Along with Kansei information being successfully introduced to information retrieval systems, particularly multimedia retrieval systems, many Kansei retrieval systems have been implemented in the past two decades. And, it has become clear that the traditional multimedia retrieval systems using key-words or/and other text information are not enough in many applications, because that they can not deal with sensitive words reflecting user’s subjectivity. In this chapter, Kansei retrieval systems efficiently taking user’s subjectivity into account will be discussed in detail. Like many traditional retrieval systems, Kansei retrieval systems are also based on databases system, which are called Kansei databases. After roughly introducing some existing Kansei retrieval systems is a general flow for designing Kansei retrieval systems. Also, we will discuss how to speed up the Kansei retrieval systems by using multidimensional indexing technologies and you will learn that our proposed multidimensional index structure, Adaptive R*-tree (AR*-tree for short), is more suitable to Kansei retrieval systems than the traditional multidimensional indexing technologies.

Difficulties with navigation are common in hypertext documents. Many studies have examined techniques and design strategies to find the proper structure of a hyperdocument whereas others have investigated navigational tools such as overview diagrams, maps, menus, and/or tables of contents that help users navigate through complex hyperdocuments. This study has investigated the effects of table of contents and frames as user interface on user performance and user satisfaction. The result suggests several guidelines for designing complex hypertext information retrieval systems and creating on-line documentation.

Information Retrieval Systems

Three sample information retrieval systems, archie, autoLib, and WAIS, are compared as to their expressiveness and usefulness — first, in the general context of information retrieval, and then as prospective software reuse repositories. While the representational capabilities of these systems are limited, they provide a useful foundation for future repository efforts, particularly from the perspective of repository distribution and coherent user interface design.
