  2. Boolean model of information retrieval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_model_of...

    The (standard) Boolean model of information retrieval (BIR) [1] is a classical information retrieval (IR) model and, at the same time, the first and most-adopted one. [2] The BIR is based on Boolean logic and classical set theory in that both the documents to be searched and the user's query are conceived as sets of terms (a bag-of-words model ).

  3. C file input/output - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_file_input/output

    The C programming language provides many standard library functions for file input and output.These functions make up the bulk of the C standard library header <stdio.h>. [1] The functionality descends from a "portable I/O package" written by Mike Lesk at Bell Labs in the early 1970s, [2] and officially became part of the Unix operating system in Version 7.

  4. Extended Boolean model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_Boolean_model

    The Extended Boolean model was described in a Communications of the ACM article appearing in 1983, by Gerard Salton, Edward A. Fox, and Harry Wu. The goal of the Extended Boolean model is to overcome the drawbacks of the Boolean model that has been used in information retrieval. The Boolean model doesn't consider term weights in queries, and ...

  5. Okapi BM25 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okapi_BM25

    In information retrieval, Okapi BM25 (BM is an abbreviation of best matching) is a ranking function used by search engines to estimate the relevance of documents to a given search query. It is based on the probabilistic retrieval framework developed in the 1970s and 1980s by Stephen E. Robertson , Karen Spärck Jones , and others.

  6. Proximity search (text) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_search_(text)

    In text processing, a proximity search looks for documents where two or more separately matching term occurrences are within a specified distance, where distance is the number of intermediate words or characters. In addition to proximity, some implementations may also impose a constraint on the word order, in that the order in the searched text ...

  7. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    The bitap algorithm is the heart of the Unix searching utility agrep. A review of online searching algorithms was done by G. Navarro. [4] Although very fast online techniques exist, their performance on large data is disfavored. Text preprocessing or indexing makes searching dramatically faster. Today, a variety of indexing algorithms have been ...

  8. Boolean analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boolean_analysis

    Boolean analysis is an explorative method to detect deterministic dependencies between items. The detected dependencies must be confirmed in subsequent research. Methods of Boolean analysis do not assume that the detected dependencies describe the data completely. There may be other probabilistic dependencies as well.

  9. Bag-of-words model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bag-of-words_model

    The BoW representation of a text removes all word ordering. For example, the BoW representation of "man bites dog" and "dog bites man" are the same, so any algorithm that operates with a BoW representation of text must treat them in the same way. Despite this lack of syntax or grammar, BoW representation is fast and may be sufficient for simple ...
