The Application of Automata Theory to Problems in Information Retrieval

Abstract
The purpose of this survey is to suggest certain topics in automata theory that may be expressed with a view toward achieving further understanding of what has been presystematically called ''the information retrieval problem. The survey is presented in the form of selected problems that have direct connection with the information retrieval problem. For each of these problems there is presented a description of the appropriate topics in automata theory which furnish a proper formulation of appropriate questions, and, in many cases, the answers to these questions. Along with these topics in automata theory, reference is made to relevant items in a bibliography of the published literature.Citation
