An extended fuzzy Boolean model of information retrieval revisited (original) (raw)

Abstract

An extension to the classical Boolean model of information retrieval is discussed. The approach is based on recent advances in the area of fuzzy logic in a narrow sense. A strictly formal logical interpretation is provided for all elements of the model including the representation of both documents and queries and the evaluation of queries.
