Four different search types were implemented which allow a search for documents or terms similar to a given term, query or document. These search types are evaluated and the importance of term weighting, exclusion of non content words and the right selection of k for the reduction of dimension are discussed. Furthermore, an introduction to Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) and an explanation of the Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is given. abstract_translated_lang: eng date: 2006 date_type: published id_scheme: DOI id_number: 10.11588/heidok.00006753 ppn_swb: 1644485370 own_urn: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-opus-67536 language: eng bibsort: GEISSJOHANLATENTSEMA2006 full_text_status: public citation: Geiß, Johanna (2006) Latent Semantic Indexing and Information Retrieval-A quest with BosSE.
