The growth of the Internet and the availability of enormous volumes
of data in digital form has necessitated intense interest in
techniques for assisting the user in locating data of interest. The
Internet has over 350 million pages of data and is expected to
reach over one billion pages by the year 2000. Buried on the
Internet are both valuable nuggets for answering questions as well
as large quantities of information the average person does not care
about. The Digital Library effort is also progressing, with the
goal of migrating from the traditional book environment to a
digital library environment. Information Retrieval Systems: Theory
and Implementation provides a theoretical and practical explanation
of the latest advancements in information retrieval and their
application to existing systems. It takes a system approach,
discussing all aspects of an Information Retrieval System. The
importance of the Internet and its associated hypertext-linked
structure is put into perspective as a new type of information
retrieval data structure.The total system approach also includes
discussion of the human interface and the importance of information
visualization for identification of relevant information. The
theoretical metrics used to describe information systems are
expanded to discuss their practical application in the uncontrolled
environment of real world systems. Information Retrieval Systems:
Theory and Implementation is suitable as a textbook for a
graduate-level course on information retrieval, and as a reference
for researchers and practitioners in industry.
