Abstract
The automatic indexing system AIR/PHYS and its evaluation by means of a retrieval test with 309 requests and 15,000 documents is described. First, the underlying conception of a rule based approach is given which is suited to the task of a controlled-vocabulary indexing of even large subject fields. Preconditions, performance and results of the retrieval test are described, including first results of retrieval runs with weighted automatic indexing.

Recommendations
Image retrieval based on indexing and relevance feedback
In content based image retrieval (CBIR) system, search engine retrieves the images similar to the query image according to a similarity measure. It should be fast enough and must have a high precision of retrieval. Indexing scheme is used to achieve a ...
Automatic indexing: a tutorial
SIGIR, from its very onset in the early 1960's, has been concerned with the development of automatic information retrieval systems and with improving the effectiveness of automatic indexing. Automatic indexing is a subsystem, or component, of an ...
