Modern Information Retrieval: The Concepts and Technology Behind Search 2nd Edition by Ricardo Baeza-Yates (PDF)

Description

This is a rigorous and complete textbook for a first course on information retrieval from the computer science perspective. It provides an up-to-date student oriented treatment of information retrieval including extensive coverage of new topics such as web retrieval, web crawling, open source search engines and user interfaces. From parsing to indexing, clustering to classification, retrieval to ranking, and user feedback to retrieval evaluation, all of the most important concepts are carefully introduced and exemplified. The contents and structure of the book have been carefully designed by the two main authors, with individual contributions coming from leading international authorities in the field, including Yoelle Maarek, Senior Director of Yahoo! Research Israel; Dulce Poncele´on IBM Research; and Malcolm Slaney, Yahoo Research USA.This completely reorganized, revised and enlarged second edition of Modern Information Retrieval contains many new chapters and double the number of pages and bibliographic references of the first edition, and a companion websitewww.mir2ed.org with teaching material. It will prove invaluable to students, professors, researchers, practitioners, and scholars of this fascinating field of information retrieval.

Editorial Reviews: From the Back Cover This book aims at providing a thorough and updated introduction to the key Information Retrieval (IR) concepts and technologies behind search engines. In the modern online world, seeking and finding information of value is of paramount importance and, for this, people often refer to search engines because of their inherent effectiveness and simplicity. Search engines work because they are anchored on the field of IR the primary goal of an IR system is to retrieve all the documents that are relevant to a user information query, while retrieving as few non-relevant documents as possible. This ambitious view of the problem naturally leads to a wealth of concepts and technologies, which are required to implement the search box paradigm. From parsing to indexing, clustering to classification, retrieval to ranking, and user feedback to retrieval evaluation, all of the most important concepts are carefully introduced and exemplified. The contents and structure of the book have been carefully designed by the two main authors, and the contributions of Eric Brown, Carlos Castillo, Marcos Gonçalves, David Hawking, Marti Hearst, Mounia Lalmas, Yoelle Maarek, Christian Middleton, Gonzalo Navarro, Dulce Ponceleón, Edie Rasmussen, Malcolm Slaney, and Nivio Ziviani greatly enrich the text with individual expertise from leaders in the field. This completely reorganized, revised and enlarged second edition of Modern Information Retrieval contains four new chapters and double the number of pages and bibliographic references of the first edition, and a companion website with teaching material. It will prove invaluable to students, professors, researchers, practitioners, and scholars of this fascinating field of IR

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Good modern text, but there are a ton of typos to the point that it gets distracting.Also the author comes off as fairly arrogant in the introduction because he attacks similar texts, which makes me question his confidence in the material.

⭐This book is the actual “handbook of Information Retrieval”. It is the most complete reference for all techniques related to IR and an invaluable help for researchers. I use it to help my work of Thesis supervision, in a graduate and in a under-graduate course.

⭐A very technical, but appropriate read. Well respected piece of work! This book should be kept in your library, if you are interested in information retrieval concepts.

⭐This book is very importana for people thay study this area, Information Retrival.

⭐This edition is better and larger than the first edition which was very well received. Sadly the publisher has not provided the possibility to look inside the content of this book. However, you can see the full table of contents and download three chapters for free at mir2ed.org (plus other resources).

⭐Don’t expect detailed instructions on how to implement a state-of-the-art retrieval algorithm, but instead a good overview of the key areas of this topic.

⭐La segunda edición de Modern Information Retrieval aspira a convertirse en uno de los libros de texto de referencia dentro de este área. El contenido se ha expandido de forma considerable respecto a la primera edición. Cabe mencionar un nuevo capítulo muy completo sobre “Text classification”. Se hacen constantes referencias a métricas de evaluación de rendimiento de los diferentes métodos y algoritmos presentados. El estilo es muy claro y conciso y los ejemplos pertinentes, ayudan a la comprensión de los conceptos importantes. Muy recomendable.Libro forse fin troppo completoO livro veio com as páginas na ordem errada. Um bloco de páginas está no lugar errado do livro.The book itself is great. It is necessary for beginners who are interested in information retrieval.Packing is also good.Delivery from China? Not sure. But, It took more than one week.
