Book Description

This is the first book that gives you a complete picture of the complications that arise in building a modern web-scale search engine. You'll learn about ranking SVMs, XML, DNS, and LSI. You'll discover the seedy underworld of spam, cloaking, and doorway pages.

Coherent and up-to-date, this textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in computer science 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

Class-tested and coherent, this groundbreaking new textbook teaches web-era information retrieval, including web search and the related areas of text classification and text clustering from basic concepts. Written from a computer science perspective by three leading experts in the field, it gives an up-to-date treatment of 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.

All the important ideas are explained using examples and figures, making it perfect for introductory courses in information retrieval for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in computer science. Based on feedback from extensive classroom experience, the book has been carefully structured in order to make teaching more natural and effective. Although originally designed as the primary text for a graduate or advanced undergraduate course in information retrieval, the book will also create a buzz for researchers and professionals alike.

• 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.

• 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: Uncertainty and Logics (C. J. van Rijsbergen)

  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.

• 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.
