An extended vector-processing scheme for searching information in hypertext systems

TL;DR: This study proposes an extended vector-processing scheme which extracts additional information from hypertext links to enhance retrieval effectiveness and builds a hypertext based on two medium-size collections, the cacm and the cisi collection.

Appearance and functionality of electronic books

TL;DR: The results and the lessons learned from two separate and independent studies into the design, development, and evaluation of electronic books for information access are presented, with the aim of helping designers and implementers to better integrate appearance and functional aspects of books into a more general methodology for the automatic production of electronic Books for Information access.

Concept-based retrieval of hypermedia information: from term indexing to semantic hyperindexing

TL;DR: Two different approaches to the concept-based indexing of hypermedia information are examined which were developed during the Active LibraryTM on Corrosion project: term indexing with three-dimensional index navigation and semantic hyperindexing with broad-button link navigation.

Fusion, propagation, and structuring in belief networks

TL;DR: It is shown that if the network is singly connected (e.g. tree-structured), then probabilities can be updated by local propagation in an isomorphic network of parallel and autonomous processors and that the impact of new information can be imparted to all propositions in time proportional to the longest path in the network.

Information needs in office practice: are they being met?

TL;DR: The self-reported information needs of 47 physicians during a half day of typical office practice were studied, and physicians raised 269 questions about patient management, related to all medical specialties and were highly specific to the individual patient's problem.

Connectionist expert systems

TL;DR: Connectionist networks can be used as expert system knowledge bases and can be constructed from training examples by machine learning techniques, giving a way to automate the generation of expert systems for classification problems.
