Of course we only looked at the stuff that was publicly available.
There is a fair bit, but it's certainly just the basics.

However, the prof was an old information retrieval guy going back to
the mid-1970s and we talked about this in a historical concept and
set it against other approaches and assumptions.

Wish I could remember more.
