MACHINE-AIDED INDEXING

Abstract

A partial syntactic analysis is used to detect words and phrases in contexts which make them useful for indexing purposes. For instance, the word 'abstracted' is useful only when it functions as an adjective. A total of 97, 425 words of text were run through the index programs in three minutes and forty seconds on the UNIVAC 1108 under EXEC I. The output is being analyzed to detect synonyms and to compare the machine-produced index terms with manual indexing assignments. At least 500,000 words of text will be processed to obtain statistics to determine whether the system is competitive with manual indexing. (Author) At least 500,000 words of text will be processed to obtain statistics to determine whether the system is competitive with manual indexing.
