SMART Information Retrieval System

Database Management System

The SMART Information Retrieval System, whose name stands for System for the Mechanical Analysis and Retrieval of Text, is an information retrieval system developed at Cornell University in the 1960s. Many important concepts in information retrieval were developed as part of research on the SMART system, including the vector space model, relevance feedback, and Rocchio classification. The system was led by Gerard Salton, with contributors including Mike Lesk.
