Subject: PhD Thesis on Machine Learning/Information Access
Web: http://robotics.stanford.edu/users/sahami/papers-dir/thesis.ps

Dear colleagues,

I am very pleased to announce the availability of my PhD thesis,
entitled "Using Machine Learning to Improve Information Access" at
the following URL:
http://robotics.stanford.edu/users/sahami/papers-dir/thesis.ps

The dissertation examines the the use of novel clustering, feature
selection and classification algorithms applied to text data (as well
as some non-text domains).  It also presents a working system, SONIA,
that makes use of these technologies to enable the automatic topical
organization of retrieval results.

For table of contents and a more detailed abstract see the web site
