Abstract
Document retrieval systems are built to provide inquirers with computerized access to relevant documents. Such systems often miss many relevant documents while falsely identifying many non-relevant documents. Here, competing document descriptions are associated with a document and altered over time by a genetic algorithm according to the queries used and relevance judgments made during retrieval.Keywords
