Information Retrieval: Implementing and Evaluation Search Engines

摘要

Vast silos of information now cover the globe in widely dispersed locations. Users in general are not interested in where these locations are situated, they are however very concerned about the speed at which they can access this information. Information retrieval (IR) is therefore a central component of the whole business of information management, while a search engine is the most likely first port of call for most users when wishing to locate information. This excellent book focuses on the implementation and evaluation of this important tool.
