Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Ian Witten, Alistair Moffat and Timothy Bell have updated their original work with this even more impressive second edition. This version adds recent techniques such as block-sorting, new indexing techniques, new lossless compression strategies and many other elements to the mix. In short, this work is a comprehensive summary of text and image compression, indexing and querying techniques. The history of relevant algorithm development is woven well with a practical discussion of challenges, pitfalls and specific solutions.
This title is a textbook style exposition on the topic, with its information organised very clearly into topics such as compression, indexing and so forth. In addition to diagrams and example text transformations, the authors use "pseudo-code" to present algorithms in a language-independent manner wherever possible. They also supplement the reading with mg--their own implementation of the techniques. The mg C language source code is freely available on the Web.
Alone, this book is an impressive collection of information. Nevertheless, the authors list numerous titles for further reading in selected topics. Whether you're in the midst of application development and need solutions fast or are merely curious about how top-notch information management is done, this book is an excellent investment. --Stephen W. Plain
Topics covered: Text compression models, including Huffman, LZW and their variants, trends in information management, index creation and compression, image compression, performance issues and overall system implementation.
Review
—Steve Kirsch, Cofounder, Infoseek Corporation
"The new edition of Witten, Moffat, and Bell not only has newer and better text search algorithms but much material on image analysis and joint image/text processing. If you care about search engines, you need this book: it is the only one with full details of how they work. The book is both detailed and enjoyable; the authors have combined elegant writing with top-grade programming."
—Michael Lesk, National Science Foundation
"The coverage of compression, file organizations, and indexing techniques for full text and document management systems is unsurpassed. Students, researchers, and practitioners will all benefit from reading this book."
—Bruce Croft, Director, Center for Intelligent Information Retrieval at the University of Massachusetts
"In 1911, Professor Lane Cooper published a concordance of William Wordsworth's poetry so that scholars could readily locate words in which they were interested." Read the first page
