Abstract

IRX is a text retrieval system designed to be a testbed for conducting information retrieval research on statistically-based retrieval strategies in either batch or interactive modes. The modular structure of IRX has permitted major changes in components of the system (e.g., ranking algorithms, parsers, interfaces; without redesign. As an interactive system IRX is in use at the Johns Hopkins University and the Lister Hill Center providing access to databases in human and molecular genetics.
