Query-Free Information Retrieval

To liberate users from burdensome information-retrieval activities while incurring minimal system-development and runtime costs, the authors present query-free information retrieval. Their system, Fixit, integrates an expert diagnostic system with a preexisting full-text database of maintenance manuals.
