Like all technologies, search engines exist within a larger political, cultural, and economic environment. Yet while much has been written about how to use search engines and how they can be improved, there has been comparatively little exploration of what the social and cultural effects might be. Search engines have become a key part of our everyday lives. Slides and additional exercises (with solutions for lecturers) are also available through the book's supporting website to help course instructors prepare their lectures.
Based on feedback from extensive classroom experience, the book has been carefully structured in order to make teaching more natural and effective. 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. 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. Introduction to Information RetrievalĬlass-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.
The book’s numerous programming exercises make extensive use of Galago, a Java-based open source search engine. Coverage of the underlying IR and mathematical models reinforce key concepts. Written by a leader in the field of information retrieval, Search Engines: Information Retrieval in Practice, is designed to give undergraduate 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.
Search Engines: Information Retrieval in Practice is ideal for introductory information retrieval courses at the undergraduate and graduate level in computer science, information science and computer engineering departments. This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book.
