AN EXPERIMENT OF CREATION OF AN INFORMATION RETRIEVAL LANGUAGE ON COMPUTER ENGINEERING
Abstract
An information retrieval language of the descriptor type was designed for the subject field 'computer engineering' to exploit a magnetic drum digital computer for 3-4,000 inquiries per day with computer translation of the keywords of the retrieval image into descriptor codes in the absence of corrective feedback from the user during the search. The system would process a number of subject subcorpuses, each comprising about 30,000 documents, with a local information retrieval language for each. A hierarchical organization of concepts and the introduction of grammatical resources were intended to reduce false drops. The descriptor image of each document has an average of 8-10 descriptors. The computer dictionary for translating keywords into descriptor codes consists mainly of nouns and adjectives of the natural language or their abbreviations. The dictionary was initiated in a conventional indexing stage covering 1,300 abstracts, which produced 664 words and 367 descriptions.
