Information Retrieval from Digital Libraries Using Probabilistic -Possibilistic Inferences

Abstract

An Information Retrieval-cum-Extraction system for retrieving information from Digital Libraries using combination of Bayesian Probabilistic and fuzzy logic based possibilistic inferences has been developed and tested. The proposed method resolves the true similarity between documents and information need specified in the form of user query using fuzzy techniques. Final results have been found to be impressive and are close to an idealistic situation.
