ABSTRACT
An automatic document retrieval system, programmed for the IBM 7094, is described. The system is designed to process English texts and search requests, and uses statistical, syntactic and semantic procedures for the analysis of information and the identification of relevant items.
The operations are planned around a central supervisor, which in turn calls on the various subroutines, as desired. This organization makes it possible to alter both the processing sequences and the matching criteria between stored information and search requests, thus producing a variable amount of information in response to a given search request. The system therefore lends itself to interaction with the user by enabling the latter continuously to change his search requirements. Furthermore, the various analytical procedures may be evaluated by comparing the retrieval results obtained under different processing conditions.
