Despite this +importance, most tools don't go beyond simple string/regex matching. +Oftentimes, a user knows more about what they're looking for: who +authored the file, how often it's modified, as well as search terms that +the user is only slightly confident exist. + +p-search is a search-engine designed to combine the various prior +knowledge about the search target, presenting it to the user in a +systematic way. In this talk, I will present this package as well as go +over the fundamentals of inforation retrieval. + +Details: + +In this talk, I will go over the p-search. p-search is a search-engine +to assist users in finding things, with a focus on flexibility and +customizablity. + +The talk will begin by going over concepts from the field of information +retrieval such as indexing, querying, ranking, and evaluating. This +will provide the necessary background to describe the workings of +p-search. + +Next, an overview of the p-search package and its features will be +given. p-search utilizes a probabilistic framework to rank documents +according to prior beliefs as to what the file is. So for example, a +user might know for sure that the file contains a particular string, +might have a strong feeling that it should contain another word, and +things that some other words it may contain. The user knows the file +extension, the subdirectory, and has known that a particular person +works on this file a lot. p-search allows the user to express all of +these predicates at once, and ranks documents accordingly. + +The talk will then progress to discuss assorted topics concerting the +project, such as design considerations and future directions. + +The aim of the talk is to expand the listeners' understanding of search +as well as inspire creativity concerning the possibilities of search +tools. + +Code: + + + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/p-search-after)" raw="yes"]] + +[[!inline pages="internal(2024/info/p-search-nav)" raw="yes"]] + + -- cgit v1.2.3
