Title

Evaluation Of An Automated Keywording System

Abstract

An automated keywording system has been designed to artificially behave as a human 'expert' indexer. The system was designed to keyworkd 100 to 800 word documents representing lessons learned from military exercises and operations. A set of 74 documents can be keyworded on an IBM PS/2 model 80 in about five minutes. This paper presents a variety of ways for statistically documenting improvements in the development of an automated keywording system over time. It is not only beneficial to have some measure of system performance for a given time, but it is also useful as attempts are made to improve a system to assess if actual statistically significant improvements have been made. Furthermore, it is useful to identify the source of any existing problems so that they can be rectified. The specifics of the automated system that was evaluated are described, and the performance measures used are discussed.
