Callan and W. Bruce Croft Computer Science Department, LGRC Box 34610 University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA 01003-4601 November 1, 1993. ASTRACT Research in the Information Retrieval laboratory was funded for two years by the TIPSTER program, a large-scale project in information retrieval and fact extraction. This report was written at the end of Phase I (the first two years). It reviews the INQUERY information retrieval system and provides a broad overview of the research results obtained during the TIPSTER project. The results include scaling up to a two gigabtye document collection, significant improvements in processing natural language queries, the WordFinder system that finds new words and phrases related to a query, document routing techniques, and a Japanese version of the system.
