I know this can be done, because I did it in Ultraseek. It was the first feature I wrote, probably around 1997.
Take the most significant terms from the document and turn them into a query. You can use the tf-idf scores of the terms as weights. I tested my queries (without weights) from Ultraseek against several WWW search engines (we used to have a lot more of those). Two test documents that I remember were the "Yes, Virginia there is a Santa Claus" newspaper column and a Kodak Tri-X film datasheet. For there first, there are lots of copies on the internet. For the second, there are (were) lots of similar 400 speed black and white films. I was an Ilford man, myself. It worked pretty well. wunder On May 14, 2013, at 5:20 PM, Jack Krupansky wrote: > Do you mean pointing to a document in one collection and retrieving documents > from another collection that are similar to the first document?
