Abstract: Information retrieval problem occurs when the target information is not available 'literally' into the set of documents. In problems in which the goal is to find 'hidden' information, it is important to develop hybrid methodologies or improve and design a new one. In this work the authors are dealing with identifying the most informative piece of data on a collection of documents, in order to obtain the best result on a posterior fuzzy clustering stage. The aim is to find similarities between the documents and a reference target, to establish relationships related to a non-literal feature. We propose to apply the well-known entropy term weighting scheme and then show a posterior different procedures to the right election of the interest data. This procedure brings the biggest amount of information within the smallest amount of data. Applying a specific selection procedure for a group of words, gives more information to differentiate and separate the documents after using the entropy weighting. This returns considerable results on the processing time and the right fuzzy clustering of the documents collection.
