REVIEWS

"Duncan A. Buell : Reviewer"

The authors introduce a network-based Bayesian retrieval model, which is suitable or extensible to hypertext and other nontraditional representations of documents. Experiments are run using document files from Communications o more...

"Caroline Merriam Eastman : Reviewer"

Turtle and Croft advocate the use of inference networks in information retrieval systems. In their models, both document collections and queries are represented by networks; multiple representations can be handled. The authors compare their more...
