Abstract
The ability to effectively rank retrieved documents in order of their probable relevance to a query is a
critical factor in statistically-based keyword retrieval systems. This paper summarizes a set of
experiments with different methods of term weighting for documents, using measures of term
importance within an entire document collection, term importance within a given document, and
document length. It is shown that significant improvements over no term weighting can be made
using a combination of weighting measures and normalizing for document length.
