Book Description

This book contains a collection of exciting papers proposing, developing and implementing logical Information Retrieval (IR) models. This book is appropriate for use as a text for a graduate-level course on Information Retrieval or Database Systems, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.

The material of this book is aimed at advanced undergraduate information (or computer) science students, postgraduate library science students, and research workers in the field of IR. The major change in the second edition of this book is the addition of a new chapter on probabilistic retrieval - one of the most interesting and active areas of research in information retrieval.

• C. J. van Rijsbergen is a professor of computer science at the University of Glasgow, where he founded the Glasgow Information Retrieval Group.

• Invisible Search and Online Search Engines (Jutta Haider, et al)

  This book is the first book to approach search and search engines from a perspective that combines insights from the technical expertise of information science research with a social science and humanities approach.

• Search Engines: Information Retrieval in Practice

  Written by a leader in the field of information retrieval, it is designed to give students the understanding and tools they need to evaluate, compare and modify search engines. It is also a valuable tool for search engine and information retrieval professionals.

• Entity-Oriented Search (Krisztian Balog)

  This open access book covers all facets of entity-oriented search - where "search" can be interpreted in the broadest sense of information access - from a unified point of view, and provides a coherent and comprehensive overview of the state of the art.

• Introduction to Information Retrieval (Christopher Manning, et al)

  This book covers all aspects of the design and implementation of systems for gathering, indexing, and searching documents; methods for evaluating systems; and an introduction to the use of machine learning methods on text collections.

• Mathematics for Classical Information Retrieval: Roots and Apps

  This book is about Information Retrieval (IR), particularly Classical Information Retrieval (CIR). The primary goal of book is to create a context for understanding the principles of CIR by discussing its mathematical bases.

• Information Retrieval Interaction (Peter Ingwersen)

  The aims of the book are to establish a unifying scientific approach to IR - a synthesis based on the concept of IR interaction and the Cognitive Viewpoint, and to generate a consolidated framework - the Mediator Model.

• Engines of Order: A Mechanology of Algorithmic Techniques

  This book examines the constructive and cumulative character of software and retraces the historical trajectories of a series of algorithmic techniques that have become the building blocks for contemporary practices of ordering.

• O'Reilly® Elasticsearch: The Definitive Guide (Clinton Gormley)

  This practical guide not only shows you how to search, analyze, and explore data with Elasticsearch, but also helps you deal with the complexities of human language, geolocation, and relationships.

• Information Retrieval: A Survey (Ed Greengrass)

  This book is a tutorial and survey of the state of the art, both research and commercial, in the dynamic field of Information Retrieval. Topics: formulation of structured and unstructured queries and topic statements, indexing of document collections, etc.

• Introduction to Metadata: 3rd Edition (Murtha Baca, et al)

  Provides an overview of Metadata - its types, roles, and characteristics; a discussion of metadata as it relates to resources on the Web; a description of methods, tools, standards, and protocols that can be used to publish and disseminate digital collections;

• Describing Data Patterns: A Deconstruction of Metadata Standards

  It analyzes the methods, technologies, standards, and languages to structure and describe data in their entirety. It reveals common features, hidden assumptions, and ubiquitous patterns among these methods and shows how data are actually structured and described.
