Abstract:
A set of programs called TEXTIR has been developed as part of a joint Los Angeles Police Department and System Development Corporation experiment and study concerning the computer retrieval of crime data in natural English language. TEXTIR automatically indexes textual data and responds to natural language queries of the indexed text. This report describes the TEXTIR programs and provides preliminary results on the use of TEXTIR on crime data. Its potential use for handling information other than crime data is also suggested.
