Classification Trees for Information Retrieval

Abstract

While concept-based methods for information retrieval can provide improved performance over more conventional techniques, the effort required to manually construct the concept trees that these methods require amounts to a “knowledge engineering bottleneck.― This paper describes experiments designed to assess the utility of a machine learning approach to the automatic construction of concept trees for information retrieval.
