Abstract

Almost all Information Retrieval (IR) systems to date are based on extensive pre-processing of the data (indexing, abstracting, compression, or other surrogate full text representations such as “N-Grams”). This paper suggests an IR system based on the notion of full text handling with “minimal” pre-processing, made feasible by emerging multi-processor architectures. Various IR techniques and methods are examined for adaptation to this hardware environment, and an IR search strategy model is described.
