Abstract
This paper focuses on the query processing module of RIME, an experimental prototype of an
intelligent information retrieval system designed to manage high-precision queries on a corpus of
medical reports. Though highly specific this particular corpus is representative of an important class
of applications: information retrieval among full-text specialized documents which constitute critical
sources of information in several organizations (medicine, law, space industry...). This experience
allowed us to design and implement an elaborate model for the semantic content of the documents
which is an extension of the Conceptual Dependency approach. The underlying retrieval model is
inspired from the Logic model proposed by C.J. Van Rijsbergen, which has been considerably refined
using an Extended Modal Logic. After presenting the context of the RIME project, we briefly describe
the models designed for the internal representation of medical reports and queries. The main part of
the paper is then devoted to the retrieval model and its application to the query processing module of
RIME which has a natural language interface. Processing a query involves two main phases: the
interpretation which transforms the natural language query into a search expression, and the
evaluation phases which retrieves the corresponding medical reports. We focus here on the
evaluation phases and show its relationship with the underlying retrieval model. Evaluations from
practical experiments are also given, along with indications about current developments of the
project.
