hand modifications are made to the ADI queries and the resulting improve-
ments in retrieval effectiveness are exhibited. Comparisons are also made
between certain automatic search procedures and manual searches using a
K[OCRerr]TC type index.
A full summarization of all recall and precision tables for all
collections and all search experiments is included in appendix A.
Appendix B contains a listing of the 35 ADI requests for both original forms
and hand-modified versions.
It is hoped that some of the evaluation results presented in this
report may lead to the design of more effective fully-automatic retrieval
systems in the foreseeable future.
