Abstract:

We examine the impact of two types of information - document frequency (df) and collection term frequency (ctf) - on the effectiveness of database selection. We introduce a family of database selection algorithms based on this information, and compare their effectiveness to two existing database selection approaches, CORI and gGlOSS. We demonstrate that a simple selection algorithm that uses only document frequency information is more effective than gGlOSS, and achieves effectiveness that is very close to that of CORI.
