While complete understanding of arbitrary input text remains in the future, it is currently possible to construct natural language processing systems that provide a partial unders...

We report on the results of a series of experiments with a prototype text retrieval system which uses relatively advanced natural language processing techniques in order to enhanc...
Abstract. Rewriting of conjunctive queries using views has many applications in database and data integration. We investigate ways to improve performance of rewriting and propose a...
Marking up search queries with linguistic annotations such as part-of-speech tags, capitalization, and segmentation, is an important part of query processing and understanding in ...
In information retrieval, queries can fail to find documents due to mismatch in terminology. Query expansion is a well-known technique addressing this problem, where additional q...
