Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is a novel information retrieval method
developed at Telcordia that improves your ability to find relevant information.
Using a powerful and fully automatic statistical algorithms LSI can retrieve
relevant documents even when they do not share any words with your query --
concepts replace keywords to improve retrieval.
For a quick overview, see the
LSI Executive Summary.
For more details, see the papers below.
