ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for comparing an input query with a number of stored annotations to identify information to be retrieved from a database. The comparison technique divides the input query into a number of fixed-size fragments and identifies how many times each of the fragments occurs within each annotation using a dynamic programming matching technique. The frequencies of occurrence of the fragments in both the query and the annotation are then compared to provide a measure of the similarity between the query and the annotation. The information to be retrieved is then determined from the similarity measures obtained for all the annotations.
