Abstract
Medicine is an ideal domain for hypertext applications and research. Implementing a popular medical handbook in hypertext underscores the need to study hypertext in the context of full-text document retrieval, machine learning, and user interface issues.

Uniform Representation of Content and Structure for structured document retrieval

TL;DR: This paper develops a formal model to represent in a uniform manner structured documents by their content and structure, based on a possible worlds approach, modal operators and uncertainty distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI

As we may think: the concept space and medical hypertext

TL;DR: The concepts and semantic links attempt to approximate potential topics of interest, allowing the reader to browse the hyperdocument in an individualized manner, rather than in an author-designated one.

Systems and methods for client cache awareness

TL;DR: In this paper, the server computer first checks if the document to be preloaded is already in the client device's cache by looking up the client cache map and then checks whether the cached document's content is still fresh.

User navigation in the IRS conceptual structure through a semantic association function

TL;DR: The central part of the paper presents motivations and justification for the design and implementation of the semantic association function in an experimental hypertext information retrieval interface as opposed to a traditional online information retrieval system.

A model for the representation and focussed retrieval of structured documents based on fuzzy aggregation

TL;DR: A model for representing structured documents to allow for their focussed retrieval is presented, founded on fuzzy aggregation, an approach based on the fuzzy representation of linguistic quantifiers and ordered weighted averaging operators.

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.
