Product Description

Review

'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. You'll see how MapReduce and other approaches to parallelism allow us to go beyond megabytes and to efficiently manage petabytes.' Peter Norvig, Director of Research, Google Inc.

'… this book sets a high standard …' Natural Language Engineering

'Introduction to Information Retrieval is a comprehensive, authoritative, and well-written overview of the main topics in IR. The book offers a good balance of theory and practice, and is an excellent self-contained introductory text for those new to IR.' Computational Linguistics


Product Description

Class-tested and coherent, this textbook teaches classical and web information retrieval, including web search and the related areas of text classification and text clustering from basic concepts. 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. Slides and additional exercises (with solutions for lecturers) are also available through the book’s supporting website to help course instructors prepare their lectures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full Coverage. Straight to the Point. Clear, 23 Dec 2008
By Mr. M. A. Tedone "alzamabar" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is the ABC of IR systems. I'm studying it for a MSc in Computer Science and I'm referring to it daily to write my MSc project. The book is an invaluable source for anyone wanting to understand what IR is about and, why not?, if you are thinking of writing your own IR system. I especially like the probability part which is clear, straight to the point and get you up and running in no-time.
