Support for Interactive Document Selection in Cross-Language Information Retrieval.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Oard, Douglas W.; Resnik, Philip – Information Processing & Management, 1999
In systems that support query-based searching, the presence of multilingual content affects the search technology and user interface components that support query formulation, document selection, and query refinement. A categorization-based selection model is described that is based on rapidly constructed word-by-word gloss translations. An…

Real-time Author Co-citation Mapping for Online Searching.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lin, Xia; White, Howard D.; Buzydlowski, Jan – Information Processing & Management, 2003
Describes the design and implementation of a prototype visualization system, AuthorLink, to enhance author searching. AuthorLink is based on author co-citation analysis and visualization mapping algorithms. AuthorLink produces interactive author maps in real time from a database of 1.26 million records supplied by the Institute for Scientific…

Discriminating Meta-Search: A Framework for Evaluation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chignell, Mark H.; Gwizdka, Jacek; Bodner, Richard C. – Information Processing & Management, 1999
Introduces an evaluative framework for metasearch engine performance and illustrates its use in two experiments. Results are used to characterize some properties of leading search engines (as of 1998). Significant interactions were observed between search engine and two other factors: time of day and Web domain. (Author/AEF)

Hardware-Assisted Algorithm for Full-Text Large-Dictionary String Matching Using N-Gram Hashing.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Cohen, Jonathan D. – Information Processing & Management, 1998
Describes a method of full-text scanning for matches in a large dictionary. The method is suitable for selective dissemination of information systems, accommodating large dictionaries and typical digital data rates. It can be implemented on a single commercially-available board hosted by a personal computer or entirely in software. (Author/AEF)

Term Relevance Feedback and Mediated Database Searching: Implications for Information Retrieval Practice and Systems Design.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Spink, Amanda – Information Processing & Management, 1995
This study uses the human approach to examine the sources and effectiveness of search terms selected during 40 mediated interactive database searches and focuses on determining the retrieval effectiveness of search terms identified by users and intermediaries from retrieved items during term relevance feedback.
