N2 - We present an experiment in which an information retrieval system using a forest of decision trees was trained using Utgoff's ITI algorithm on two test collections. The system was then compared with a conventional inverted indexing engine and found to give a superior performance. We argue that the method has the potential to be used in real applications where the task domain is homogeneous.
