introduction• Information filtering (IF)

– Incoming relevant documents are routed to profilesqueries.

• Information retrieval (IR)– Provides a list of ordered documents based

on the similarity with the user query

3

introduction (continued...)

• Linear Separation - partitions relevant and non-relevant

into distinct blocks

• Optimal Queries- all relevant documents are ahead of

nonrelevant ones.

• Steepest Descent Algorithm (SDA)

4

preliminaries

• Information retrieval system (S) can be defined as 5 tuple

• S =(T,D,Q,V,f)

-T set of ordered index terms-D set of documents-Q set of queries-V set of real numbers-f:DxQ V retrieval function

5

preliminaries (continued)

• Vector Space Model- Transformation of raw text into more computationally useful forms

- Documents and queries are represented as vectors of weighted terms

• d=(t1,wd1;t2,wd2;. . .;tn,wdn) ti T d

• q = (q1, wq1 ; q2, wq2, . . . ; qm, wqm) qi T q

6

preliminaries (continued)

• Rnorm value for effectiveness It measures up how relevant documents are distributed over nonrelavent ones.

rank matters.

<TEXT><TITLE>U.S. MEAT GROUP TO FILE TRADE COMPLAINTS</TITLE>

<DATELINE> WASHINGTON, March 13 - </DATELINE><BODY>The American Meat Institute, AME,said it intended to ask the U.S.

government to retaliate against a European Community meat inspection requirement. AME President C. Manly Molpus also said the industry would file a petition challenging Korea's ban of U.S. meat products.

Molpus told a Senate Agriculture subcommittee that AME andother livestock and farm groups intended to file a petition

under Section 301 of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Tradeagainst an EC directive that, effective April 30, will require

U.S. meat processing plants to comply fully with EC standards.

1. Choose a starting query vector Q0; let k = 0.

2. Let Qk be a query vector at the start of

the (k+1)th iteration; identify thefollowing set of difference vectors: (Qk) ={b=d- d’ :d d’ and

f(Qk,b) 0}; if (Qk)= ,

Qopt = Qk is a solution

and exit, otherwise, 3. Let Qk+1 = Qk +

4. k = k+1; go back to Step (2).
