This paper presents an information agent and latent semantic-based indexing architecture to retrieve documents on the Internet. The system optimizes the search for documents in the Internet by automatically retrieving relevant links. The information used for the search can be obtained, for instance, from Internet browser caches and from grades of relevance manually informed. To leverage the sco...

This paper describes and summarizes experience of Masaryk University Math Information Retrieval team (MIRMU) with the mathematical search developed and performed for the NTCIR-11 Math-2 Task. Our approach is the similarity search based on canonicalized MathML and second generation of scalable full text search engine Math Indexer and Searcher (MIaS) with attested state-of-the-art information ret...

Capturing engineering knowledge and managing it effectively is important for enterprises to stay competitive in today’s global market. In our research, we focus on specific engineering knowledge, called design procedures, and attempt to develop effective ways to capture this operational knowledge from the design events monitored during design process. We proposed a novel method called Informati...

The digital libraries of the future will include not only (ASCII) text information but scanned paper documents as well as still photographs and videos. There is, therefore, a need to index and retrieve information from such multi-media collections. The Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval (CIIR) has a number of projects to index and retrieve multi-media information. These include: 1. Th...

Pre-coordination of index terms has fallen out of favor with the advent of automated information retrieval. This is unjustiied, as a certain amount of pre-coordination greatly enhances the searcher's possibilities of ne-tuning the query to match the level of detail of the information request. We propose a system of index concepts that allows concepts to be coordinated by means of special coordi...

RÉSUMÉ. La recherche d’informations et des connaissances médicales devient de plus en plus facile et accessible sur Internet pour le professionnel de santé, l’étudiant, mais aussi pour le patient et le cyber citoyen. CISMeF (Catalogue et Index des Sites Médicaux Francophones) est un outil visant à cataloguer et indexer les sources les plus importantes d'information de santé institutionnelles en...
