2. Information retrieval [electronic resource] : searching in the 21st century

   Chichester, U.K. : Wiley, 2009.

   "This book is an essential reference to cutting-edge issues and future directions in information retrieval Information retrieval (IR) can be defined as the process of representing, managing, searching, retrieving, and presenting information. Good IR involves understanding information needs and interests, developing an effective search technique, system, presentation, distribution and delivery. The increased use of the Web and wider availability of information in this environment led to the development of Web search engines. This change has brought fresh challenges to a wider variety of users' needs, tasks, and types of information. Today, search engines are seen in enterprises, on laptops, in individual websites, in library catalogues, and elsewhere. Information Retrieval: Searching in the 21st Century focuses on core concepts, and current trends in the field. This book focuses on: Information Retrieval Models User-centred Evaluation of Information Retrieval Systems Multimedia Resource Discovery Image Users' Needs and Searching Behaviour Web Information Retrieval Mobile Search Context and Information Retrieval Text Categorisation and Genre in Information Retrieval Semantic Search The Role of Natural Language Processing in Information Retrieval: Search for Meaning and Structure Cross-language Information Retrieval Performance Issues in Parallel Computing for Information Retrieval. This book is an invaluable reference for graduate students on IR courses or courses in related disciplines (e.g. computer science, information science, human-computer interaction, and knowledge management), academic and industrial researchers, and industrial personnel tracking information search technology developments to understand the business implications. Intermediate-advanced level undergraduate students on IR or related courses will also find this text insightful. Chapters are supplemented with exercises to stimulate further thinking"--Provided by publisher."The aim of this book is to provide a basis for understanding recent developments in the field and to outline directions for information search technologies. The text presents significant contributions to the research community and industry, covering topics such as the semantic search, natural language processing, parallel information retrieval, image and multimedia retrieval, text categorisation, context technology, cross-language retrieval, and mobile information services. The book is a balanced mixture of theory, practice, tools and applications"--Provided by publisher.This book is an essential reference to cutting-edge issues and future directions in information retrieval Information retrieval (IR) can be defined as the process of representing, managing, searching, retrieving, and presenting information.

   SciFinder[registered] is rapidly becoming a preferred means to access scientific information in industry and universities worldwide. It accesses databases which span the chemical, engineering, life, medical, and physical sciences, including five Chemical Abstract Service databases and the National Library of Medicine bibliographic database Medline[registered]. No other single information access tool has such breadth of coverage for scientific journal and patent documents. "Information Retrieval: SciFinder[registered], 2nd Edition" is an essential guide explaining how to get the best out of SciFinder. It discusses the 50+ options in SciFinder[registered] including topic, bibliographic, and chemical substance explore options, and post-processing options Analyze, Refine, and Categorize. The book summarises the databases and explains how to take advantage of the unique search and analysis options. It explains selected algorithms behind the operation of SciFinder[registered] and why it helps to understand them. It discusses why it is important, and how to apply scientific method to information retrieval. It describes how to search for chemical structures and chemical reactions. This second edition of "Information Retrieval: SciFinder[registered] has been fully revised and updated to incorporate the latest functionality and content of SciFinder[registered]. Written by a scientist for scientists, this book will increase your research creativity and productivity and is an essential resource for anyone needing scientific information in academia or industry.
