Abstract:
ABSTRACT
Background: The most widely used literature search techniques, such as those offered by NCBI’s PubMed system, require significant effort on the part of the searcher, and less experienced searchers are less effective. Improved literature search engines can save researchers time and effort.
Results: Several text similarity search algorithms, both standard and novel, were implemented and tested in order to determine which obtained the best results in information retrieval exercises. In a preliminary study to determine the efficacy of text similarity searching (TSS) versus Boolean searching, novice searchers (first year medical students, n = 10) attained 76.8% ± 18.3% precision using various TSS algorithms vs. 53.3% ± 33.3% using PubMed’s Boolean interface. Various TSS algorithms were then tested against one another in a batch retrieval task. Our novel sentence alignment algorithm attained higher precision than other strategies tested. A second novel algorithm combining Boolean with similarity searching attained high precision with significantly reduced run-time.
Conclusions: Text similarity searching outperforms Boolean searching for novice users, and our novel sentence alignment algorithm is an improvement over standard approaches. Literature searching algorithms are implemented in a system called eTBLAST, freely accessible over the web at http://invention.swmed.edu. A utility (RIC) for continuously monitoring a user’s topic against MEDLINE is also provided
