Abstract

A fuzzy document retrieval system has been realized that permits a reduction of the time needed for retrieving the set of documents fulfilling a user's query, as well as the amount of core space, needed for the document description relations. The method described solves the problems that Radecki-who uses lambda-level fuzzy sets-met with, trying to reduce time, and gives rise to a good working Information Retrieval System, as the examples show. The retrieval process is described by an included algorithm.
