MACHINE LEARNING APPROACH TO DETERMINING DOCUMENT RELEVANCE FOR SEARCHING OVER LARGE ELECTRONIC COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system and a method that applies automated learning procedures for determining document relevance and assisting information retrieval activities. SOLUTION: The system includes a storage component that receives a set of human selected items to be employed as positive test cases of highly relevant documents. A training component trains at least one classifier with the human selected items as positive test cases and one or more other items as negative test cases in order to provide a query-independent model, wherein the other items can be selected by a statistical search, for example.
