In the logical approach to information retrieval (IR), retrieval is considered as uncertain inference. Whereas classical IR models are based on propositional logic, we combine Dat...
Abstract. HySpirit is a retrieval engine for hypermedia retrieval integrating concepts from information retrieval (IR) and deductive databases. The logical view on IR models retrie...
We describe the design and implementation of a system for logic-based multimedia retrieval. As highlevel logic for retrieval of hypermedia documents, we have developed a probabilis...
Uncertain inference is a probabilistic generalisation of the logical view on databases, ranking documents according to their probabilities that they logically imply the query. For ...
Classical retrieval models support content-oriented searching for documents using a set of words as data model. However, in hypertext and database applications we want to consider...
