This book 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 major difference
between this book and the first edition is the addition to this
text of descriptions of the automated indexing of multimedia
documents, as items in information retrieval are now considered to
be a combination of text along with graphics, audio, image and
video data types. The growth of the Internet and the availability
of enormous volumes of data in digital form have necessitated
intense interest in techniques to assist the user in locating data.
The importance of the Internet and its associated hypertext linked
structure are 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.With the
availability of large quantities of multi-media on the Internet
(audio, video, images), Information Retrieval Systems need to
address multi-modal retrieval. The primary use of this book is as a
college text on Information Retrieval Systems. But in addition to
the theoretical aspects, the book maintains a theme of practicality
that puts into perspective the importance and utilization of the
theory in systems that are being used by anyone on the Internet.
The student will gain an understanding of what is achievable using
existing technologies and deficient areas that warrant additional
research. The text provides coverage of all of the major aspects of
information retrieval and has sufficient detail to allow students
to implement a simple Information Retrieval System.
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.
