Description
Information retrieval is the foundation for modern search engines. This
textbook offers an introduction to the core topics underlying modern search
technologies, including algorithms, data structures, indexing, retrieval, and
evaluation. The emphasis is on implementation and experimentation; each chapter
includes exercises and suggestions for student projects. Wumpus -- a multiuser
open-source information retrieval system developed by one of the authors and
available online -- provides model implementations and a basis for student work. The
modular structure of the book allows instructors to use it in a variety of
graduate-level courses, including courses taught from a database systems
perspective, traditional information retrieval courses with a focus on IR theory,
and courses covering the basics of Web retrieval. In addition to its classroom use,
Information Retrieval will be a valuable reference for
professionals in computer science, computer engineering, and software
engineering.
