Incorporating the vector space model in a neural network used for document retrieval

Abstract

The task of a document retrieval system is to match a query, perhaps in natural language, against a large number of natural language documents. Neural networks are known to be good pattern matchers. This article describes investigations in implementing a document retrieval system based on a neural network model. It shows that many of the standard strategies of information retrieval are applicable in a neural network model.
