High-quality and high-performance full-text document retrieval: the Parallel InfoGuide System

Describes the InfoGuide full-text document retrieval system, developed at the Philips Research Laboratories. InfoGuide combines high retrieval quality with high retrieval performance. The high quality is due to the use of the vector-space retrieval model, and the high performance originates from the implementation on the parallel POOMA machine. Implementation aspects as well as evaluation figures are presented, and it is concluded that a 200-term query can be matched against 1,500,000 documents within 3 seconds.<<ETX>>
