Peer reviewedTauchert, Wolfgang; And Others – Online Review, 1991
Describes the PADOK-II project in Germany, which was designed to give information on the effects of linguistic algorithms on retrieval in a full-text database, the German Patent Information System (GPI). Relevance assessments are discussed, statistical evaluations are described, and searches are compared for the full-text section versus the…

Peer reviewedRada, Roy; And Others – Journal of Documentation, 1991
Describes a study funded by the Commission of the European Community that applied document retrieval algorithms to the "Excerpta Medica" database using the EMTREE thesaurus. Nonhierarchical relations were added to enrich the thesaurus, and document ranking is discussed in terms of the conceptual distance between the documents and the…

Peer reviewedAl-Hawamdeh, Suliman; And Others – Online Review, 1991
Describes a project at the University of Sheffield that is investigating the use of nearest-neighbor retrieval algorithms for full-text searching. Nearest-neighbor searching is compared with Boolean retrieval and hypertext, and an experimental text retrieval system called INSTRUCT (Interactive System for Teaching Retrieval Using Computational…

Rushby, N. J. – 1978
This bibliography lists 86 references, most of which are annotated, to papers and journal articles on computer assisted learning (CAL) in the Soviet Union. Topics dealt with include problem solving models, decision strategies, programmed instruction, algorithms, simulation, educational games, databases, and testing. The references have been…

Peer reviewedMeir, Daniel D.; Lazinger, Susan S. – Information Technology and Libraries, 1998
Reports on a survey measuring the performance of a merging algorithm used to generate the now-defunct ULM (Union List of Monographs) file for ALEPH, Israel's research library network. Discusses automatic detection and merging of duplicate bibliographic records, problems created by lack of a standard for Hebrew spelling, and methods for measuring…

Peer reviewedAl-Kharashi, Ibrahim A.; Evens, Martha W. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1994
Describes experiments in Arabic information retrieval using 29 queries against a base of 355 bibliographic records. Using roots and stems as index terms worked better than words, and the root performed as well as or better than the stem at low recall levels and definitely better at high recall levels. (Contains 30 references.) (KRN)
