Some Artificial Intelligence Approaches to Textual Information Retrieval

摘要

The ever-increasing need for good information retrieval is seen in the spread of electronic information in a variety of forms, including text, nonprint media (e.g., images, sound), multimedia, and web pages. Issues such as cross-language retrieval and recommender systems have come up of late. The use of some artificial intelligence methodologies, be it fuzzy set theory, genetic algorithms, neural nets, or data mining (including rough sets) has been suggested for improving information retrieval performance. A survey of some of these approaches for information retrieval is presented.
