The focus of the  presentation is on algorithms and heuristics used to find documents  relevant to the user request and to find them fast. Through multiple  examples, the most commonly used algorithms and heuristics needed are  tackled. To facilitate understanding and applications, introductions  to and discussions of computational linguistics, natural language  processing, probability theory and library and computer science are  provided. While this text focuses on algorithms and not on commercial  product per se, the basic strategies used by many commercial products  are described. Techniques that can be used to find information on the  Web, as well as in other large information collections, are included.  \u003cbr\u003e  This volume is an invaluable resource for researchers, practitioners,  and students working in information retrieval and databases. For  instructors, a set of Powerpoint slides, including speaker notes, are  available online from the authors.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461375326\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5539-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235.0cm x155.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 254.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358977093772,"sku":"9781461375326","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461375326.jpg?v=1767147536","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461375326","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
