 ...

 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]

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

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.  Part 1 of the rest appeared in last issue. - Ed]
