TECHNIQUES FOR DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL RESEARCH: STATE OF THE ART.
Abstract
Recently developed technologies and systems know-how for non-numeric information processing make it feasible to construct experimental systems and to plan scientific experiments which are realistic and of critical size. The great obstacle is still lack of an underlying scientific discipline to help formulate and analyze hypotheses to be proved by such experimentation. These technological possibilities may spur the development of such a 'systems science' discipline; current work in the mathematical analysis of clustering among recorded items may provide the germ for its emergence.
