The Big Picture • Find the words • Index the words • Do ranked retrieval • Use that system to find what you want
Some Issues • Language-based search without language! • Shape codes • Accuracy-selection effect of ranked retrieval • Poor recognition scatters in the query-term space • Blind relevance feedback • Based on clean text • Image-domain summaries
Some Applications • Case management for litigation • Duplicate detection for declassification productivity and anti-tiling • Knowledge management from everything I have ever xeroxed or faxed
Some Applications • Legacy Tobacco Documents Library • http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/ • Google Books • http://books.google.com/ • George Washington’s Papers • http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/irdemo/hw-demo/
