    This study introduces automatic query formulation to generate Boolean search requests from natural language. This method reduces reliance on human intermediaries for information retrieval systems.

    Area of Science:

    • Information Science
    • Computer Science

    Background:

    • Information retrieval systems rely on Boolean logic for search.
    • Trained intermediaries are typically needed to formulate effective Boolean queries.
    • Untrained users struggle to create optimal search statements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop methods for automatic Boolean query formulation from natural language.
    • To reduce the dependency on human search intermediaries.
    • To enhance user interaction with information retrieval systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Automatic generation of term combinations and Boolean connectives using frequency considerations.
    • Development of methods for both standard and extended Boolean logic systems.
    • Experimental evaluation of the automatic query formulation process.
