introduction: information management system is a formal approach to collect the necessary information in its due time for managers to facilitate decision-making, planning and management. medical records system which is closely associated with pieces of information and their true value can play an important role in health care organizations. the main objective of this study is to compare informa...

The Structured Audio Information Retrieval System (STAIRS) project targets environments where workers need access to information, but cannot use traditional hands-and-eyes devices, such as a PDA. The information to be accessed is stored in an information base, either as pre-recorded audio or as text to be run through a text-to-speech engine. Given the inherent limitations of the simple audio in...

This is our first participation with TREC. Our team researches natural language processing, and we have developed English-Japanese and Japanese-English machine translation system. (The code name of machine translation system is VENUS.) We are now researching a new natural language processing environment, including information retrieval and text understanding. (The environment name is VIRTUE: VE...

This paper presents the information retrieval system that integrates concept-based retrieval, which focuses on the similarity of the meanings of words, with the characterstring-matching-based retrieval. The system provides a word association function, a concept retrieval function, and a document classification function, which are expected to help the user to reach the target document quickly or...

The World Wide Web gives individuals access to huge amounts of data. This includes access to information also found in traditional formats such as news copy. This study addresses a desire to blend these two mediums in such a way that media consumers can move transparently from a hard copy of a given article to an electronic copy. Document retrieval experiments were performed in an attempt to de...

In this paper, a fuzzy web information retrieval system is developed. The system uses many of the tools and methods involved in fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory, along with standard algorithms involving information retrieval on the web. The results of the ranking algorithm use the fuzzy relational BK-products, fuzzy thesauri, and fuzzy closure properties for purposes of retrieving relevant docu...

Music emotion plays an important role in music retrieval, mood detection and other music-related applications. Many issues for music emotion recognition have been addressed by different disciplines such as physiology, psychology, cognitive science and musicology. We present a support vector regression (SVR) based Music Information Retrieval System (Emotion based). We have chosen the “Raga” para...

UNLABELLED Bioterrorism is the intended use of pathogenic strains of microbes to widen terror in a population. There is a definite need to promote research for development of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostic methods as a part of preparedness to any bioterror attack in the future. BIRS is an open-access database of collective information on the organisms related to bioterrorism. The archite...
