Probabilistic Latent Semantic Indexing is a novel approach to automated document indexing which is based on a statistical latent class model for factor analysis of count data. Fitted from a training corpus of text documents by a generalization of the Expectation Maximization algorithm, the utilized

A new method for automatic indexing and retrieval is described. The approach is to take advantage of implicit higher-order structure in the association of terms with documents (“semantic structure”) in order to improve the detection of relevant documents on the basis of terms found in queries

Models of document indexing and document retrieval have been extensively studied. The integration of these two classes of models has been the goal of several researchers but it is a very difficult problem. We argue that much of the reason for this is the lack of an adequate indexing model

Abstract. An enormous number of documents is being produced that have to be stored, searched and accessed. Document indexing represents an efficient way to tackle this problem. Contributing to the document indexing process, we developed the Computer Aided Document Indexing System (CADIS

We describe a method for probabilistic document indexing using relevance feedback data that has been collected from a set of queries. Our approach is based on three new concepts: (1) Abstraction from specific terms and documents, which overcomes the restriction of limited relevance information
