It is shown that the procedure derived in this paper yields an approximation of a minimum difference in information when applied to empirical observations from an unknown distribution of tree dependence, and the procedure is the maximum-likelihood estimate of the distribution.

This paper provides a foundation for a practical way of improving the effectiveness of an automatic retrieval system by measuring the extent of the dependence between index terms and using it to construct a non‐linear weighting function.

Knowledge Acquisition for Expert Systems

It is futile to try acquiring knowledge and constructing systems unless it is known what it is for, and important issues need raising before detailed knowledge acquisition can take place.

This paper tackles the problem of how one might select further search terms, using relevance feedback, given the search terms in the query, by generating a number of different spanning trees from a variety of association measures.

A Bayesian argument is used to suggest modifications to the Robertson/Sparck Jones relevance weighting formula, to accommodate the addition to the query of terms taken from the relevant documents identified during the search.
