Abstract
A method for retrieving relevant stories from a collection of stories. The method comprises the steps of identifying at least one query term, applying a cooccurrence matrix to the query term to provide a list of query terms, determining if a story in the collection contains any terms on the list of query terms, and then increasing a relevance measure if the story does contain words on the list of query words. If the relevance measure is higher than a threshold, the story is added to a list of relevant stories.
