Funded Activity Summary

Efficient and Effective Text Information Retrieval with Phrases. Current Internet search engines find documents by matching queries to documents, then present the closest matches to the user. Such searching is often ineffective. Another technique for searching, which with current algorithms is not feasible for large text collections such as the Web, is to browse vocabularies and view phrases in the contexts in which they are used. The aim of this project is to make wider use of phrases in retrieval, by developing new phrase-based querying algorithms and investigating how users can use phrase indexes to find documents. The outcome will be new, efficient methods for exploring the Internet.
