Quotations
116 ;;Quote: words are ambiguous and a document can be relevant without using words from the query; concepts more important
116 ;;Quote: a thesaurus represents the relations between word senses rather than words; be careful when expanding query words with a thesaurus
119 ;;Quote: collocation and syntax identified the senses of "danger" in approximately 70% of the examined cases
119 ;;Quote: people can often disambiguate words with only a few words of context, and frequently, only one word is needed
121 ;;Quote: developing a lexicon for disambiguation is expensive; e.g., 8 person-years for 5,000 words
124 ;;Quote: query words are more ambiguous than words in a document
124 ;;Quote: better information retrieval if weight words by frequency of use
124+;;Quote: TF.IDF weighting for query words uses the frequency of a term in the document and its inverse frequency in the collection
138 ;;Quote: no clear advantage for weighting query words by the number of senses they have
139 ;;Quote: query word sense mismatches are far more likely to appear in nonrelevant documents than for relevant documents
