| Abstract | The latent semantic indexing (LSI) methodology for information retrieval applies the singular value decomposition to identify an eigensystem for a large matrix, in which cells represent the occurrence of terms (words) within documents. This methodology is used to rank text documents, such as Web pages or abstracts, based on their relevance to a topic. The LSI was introduced to address the issues of synonymy (different words with the same meaning) and polysemy (the same words with multiple meanings), thus addressing the ambiguity in human language by utilizing the statistical context of words. Rather than keeping all k possible eigenvectors and eigenvalues from the singular value decomposition which approximates the original term by document matrix, a smaller number is used - essentially allowing a fuzzy match of a topic to the original term by document matrix. In this paper, we show that the choice k impacts the resultant ranking and there is no value of k that results in stability of ranked results for similarity of the topic to documents. This is a surprising result, because prior literature indicates that eigensystems based on successively large values of k should approximate the complete (max k) eigensystems. The finding that document-query similarity rankings with larger values of k do not, in fact, maintain consistency, makes it difficult to assert that any particular value of k is optimal. This in turn renders LSI potentially untrustworthy for use in ranking text documents, even for values that differ by only 10% of the max k. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
