DYNAMIC HYPERTEXT SYNTHESIS FOR INFORMATION RETRIEVAL

Abstract

Hypertext navigation alone is insufficient for efficient Information Retrieval (IR). Previous attempts to combine IR techniques with hypertext have been confined to the pre-authored structure of a document. In this paper we extend computer-science methods to synthesize a tailor-made hypertext document in response to each user's query. The synthesis technique can also be used to automatically create a pre-authored hypertext document according to an author's specifications.Information Systems Working Papers Serie
