چکیده
Orthographic varieties are common in the Japanese language, and represent a serious problem for Japanese information retrieval (IR), as IR systems run the risk of missing documents that contain variant forms of the search term. We propose two different strategies for handling orthographic varieties: pronunciation or yomi-based indexing and “Fuzzy Querying”, comparing katakana terms based on edit distance. Both strategies were integrated into our multiple index and fusion system, and tested using two different test collections, newspaper articles (Mainichi Shimbun ’98) and scientific abstracts (NTCIR-1), to compare their performance across text genres. The fusion of the results obtained with a bi-gram-based, a word-based, and the additional yomi-based index was found to improve precision significantly for the NTCIR-1 collection, but only slightly for the Mainichi Shimbun ’98 collection. Adding Fuzzy Querying as a fourth system and merging the results led to a further, but not significant, improvement in precision.

متن کاملThe Temperature of Extended Gas in Active Galaxies – Evidence for Matter-Bounded Clouds
We report measurements of the electron temperature at about a dozen locations in the extended emission-line regions of five active (Seyfert and radio) galaxies. Temperatures (T[OIII] and T[NII]) have been determined from both the I([OIII]λ4363)/I([OIII]λ5007) and I([NII]λ5755)/I[NII]λ6583) ratios. T[OIII] lies in the range (1.0 – 1.7) × 104K. We find a strong trend for T[OIII] to be higher than...
متن کاملVirtual Infrastructure: Putting Information Infrastructure on the Technology Curve
The present debate concerning the National Information Infrastructure (NII)[1] has focused primarily on the introduction of competitive markets for the supply and distribution of information. Although competition will be an important component of the NII, and one which we welcome, we argue that it is inappropriate to frame the debate entirely in terms of competition. Competition can be seen as ...
