Dynamic hypertext synthesis for information retrieval

Hypertext navigation alone is insufficient for efficient Information Retrieval (IR). Previous attempts to combine IR techniques with hypertext have been confined to the pre-authored structure of a document. In this paper we extend computer-science methods to synthesize a tailor-made hypertext document in response to each user´s query. The synthesis technique can also be used to automatically create a pre-authored hypertext document according to an author´s specifications.<>
