I will also send a copy of the announcement for the International Journal of Approximate Reasoning for which Jim Bezdek is the editor. [Note: one of the topics to be covered by this new journal is information retrieval. Perhaps J. Bezdek or others can send in machine readable copy telling more. - Ed] ... There are now two students working on the IR project here with Gautam Biswas. One is incorporating new fuzzy functions into the current system. The other is going to try to do an evaluation study of some sort of the system performance. The system is written primarily in typical academic project LISP. ... [Note: this system has been under development at Univ South Carolina and has been reported upon in the literature. Perhaps more details can be sent to IRList. - Ed] ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 7 Oct 86 09:42:54 edt From: Michael Shepherd Message-Id: <62:shepherd@cs.dal.cdn> Subject: a.i. applied to i.r. Dear Ed: Dr. Carolyn Watters and I are working on extending traditional information retrieval systems towards expert systems. In doing this, we are interested in a number of areas, particularly: application of a.i. techniques to text databases, knowledge representation, extraction of knowledge for knowledge structures, etc. We have developed a prototype expert system using predicate logic as the model for retrieval with a natural language front-end. The prototype is in prolog. The database consists of bibliographic records, manually indexed. Our current emphasis includes the application of a faceted classification scheme as the underlying knowledge structure. It also includes techniques for improving throughput of prolog searches in both hardware and software. We would like to hear from other people working in this area. We can be reached on cdnnet at: shepherd@cs.dal.cdn regards, Michael Shepherd ------------------------------ Message-Id: <8610021922.AA27502@cernvax.UUCP> From: Mitchell Wyle Date: Thu, 2 Oct 86 15:48:37 -0100 Subject: automatic indexing bibliography [Note: final part - Ed] Here is a bibliography with abstracts of automatic indexing in information retrieval. It might be too big to include in IRlist, but you can cut it down. [Note: The entries with abstracts were removed and will appear in ACM SIGIR Forum.
