title: WWW search engine for Slovenian and English medical documents.
abstract: The information tool for the organization and searching of Slovenian and English medical documents is presented. The tool, partly still in development phases, performs automatic subject description of documents, searching with natural language queries and rankig of search hits according to their relevance. The search engine allows the searcher to use relevance feedback in order to perform incremental improvement of search results. The machine learning system TILDE for learning user profiles was also applied. Documents marked by the user as relevant or non-relevant are used to find characteristics that distinguish relevant documents from non-relevant ones.
