30 In practice,one seeks some sort of optimal trade off between representation and discrimination ...The emphasis on representation leads to what one might call a document orientation:that is,a total preoccupation with modelling what the document is about ...This point of view is also adopted by those concerned with defining a concept of information,they assume that once this notion is properly explicated a document can be represented by the information it contains [37]...The emphasis on discrimination leads to a query orientation ...Automatic keyword classification Many automatic retrieval systems rely on thesauri to modify queries and document representatives to improve the chance of retrieving relevant documents ...
17 Generating document representatives conflation Ultimately one would like to develop a text processing system which by menas of computable methods with the minimum of human intervention will generate from the input text full text,abstract,or title a document representative adequate for use in an automatic retrieval system ...Such a system will usually consist of three parts:1 removal of high frequency words,2 suffix stripping,3 detecting equivalent stems ...The removal of high frequency words,stop words or fluff words is one way of implementing Luhn s upper cut off ...Table 2 ...The second stage,suffix stripping,is more complicated ...Table 2 ...1 the length of remaining stem exceeds a given number;the default is usually 2;2 the stem ending satisfies a certain condition,e ...Many words,which are equivalent in the above sense,map to one morphological form by removing their suffixes ...
