Baskent University Text Filtering 2 introduction Information filtering (IF) –Incoming non-relevant documents are filtered out. Information retrieval (IR) –Provides a list of ordered documents based on the similarity with the user query

Baskent University Text Filtering 3 introduction ( continued... ) Linear Separation - partitions relevant and non-relevant into distinct blocks Optimal Queries - all relevant documents are ahead of non- relevant ones. Steepest Descent Algorithm (SDA)

Baskent University Text Filtering 4 preliminaries Information retrieval system (S) can be defined as 5 tuple S =(T,D,Q,V,f) -T set of ordered index terms -D set of documents -Q set of queries -V set of real numbers -f:DxQ  V retrieval function
