چکیده
Recommender systems evaluate and filter the great amount of information available on the Web to assist people in their search processes. A fuzzy evaluation method of Standard Generalized Markup Language documents based on computing with words is presented. Given a document type definition (DTD), we consider that its elements are not equally informative. This is indicated in the DTD by defining linguistic importance attributes to the more meaningful elements of DTD chosen. Then, the evaluation method generates linguistic recommendations from linguistic evaluation judgements provided by different recommenders on meaningful elements of DTD. To do so, the evaluation method uses two quantifier guided linguistic aggregation operators, the linguistic weighted averaging operator and the linguistic ordered weighted averaging operator, which allow us to obtain recommendations taking into account the fuzzy majority of the recommenders judgements. Using the fuzzy linguistic modeling the user–system interaction is facilitated and the assistance of system is improved. The method can be easily extended on the Web to evaluate HyperText Markup Language and eXtensible Markup Language documents. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Construction of weak and strong similarity measures for ordered sets of documents using fuzzy set techniques
Ordered sets of documents are encountered more and more in information distribution systems, such as information retrieval systems (IRS). Classical similarity measures for ordinary sets of documents hence need to be extended to these ordered sets. This is done in this paper using fuzzy set techniques. First a general similarity measure is developed which contains the classical strong similarity...

We present a bibliometric study of a corpus of 839 bibliographic references about automatic indexing, covering the period 1956-2000. We analyse the distribution of authors and works, the obsolescence and its dispersion, and the distribution of the literature by topic, year, and source type. We conclude that: (i) there has been a constant interest on the part of researchers; (ii) the most studie...
