Abstract

The Vector Space Model (VSM) is probably the most widely used model for retrieving information from text collections (and recently from over other kinds of corpi). Assuming this model, we study the problem of finding the best query that "names" (or describes) a given (unordered or ordered) set of objects. We formulate several variations of this problem and we provide methods and algorithms for solving them.
