In the typical rule induction process following a sequential covering approach, are the rules produced overlapping or not? If they are, what strategies are used to solve the conflict when two or more rules are advocated for one example? If they are not, what is the mechanism that guarantees that the rules are not overlapping? Problem 3. Briefly define Information Retrieval (IR), the major IR approaches, and the basic measures for text retrieval.
