The LSI WWW interface seeks to provide a useful, flexible interface
to LSI without overwhelming the user with an abundance of
esoteric options. It allows the user to
- select a document collection (``book'') to search,
- enter a series of keywords to form a query,
- choose the number of factors to use (controlling the
precision of query-matching) when performing the search,
- select whether to return terms, documents, or both terms
and documents,
- and elect to return the 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50
highest-ranked objects (according to the cosine values).
In addition, once an initial query has been submitted, any objects
returned by the search can be selected to become part of
the next query, allowing relevance feedback (Section 2.2.5)
to be seamlessly integrated with the rest of the interface.
