`

`Preface
`
`
`
`Information retrieval (IR) has changed considerably in recent years with the expansion
`of the World Wide Web and the advent of modern and inexpensive graphical user
`interfaces and mass storage devices. As a result, traditional IR textbooks have become
`quite out of date and this has led to the introduction of new IR books. Nevertheless, We
`believe that there is still great need for a book that approaches the field in a rigorous
`and complete Way from a computer—science perspective (as opposed to a user~centered
`perspective). This book is an effort to partially fulfill this gap and should be useful for
`a first course on information retrieval as Well as for a graduate course on the topic.
`The book comprises two portions Which complement and balance each other.
`The core portion includes nine chapters authored or coauthored by the designers of
`the book. The second portion, Which is fully integrated With the first, is formed by
`six state~of-the—art chapters Written by leading researchers in their fields. The same
`notation and glossary are used in all the chapters. Thus, despite the fact that several
`people have contributed to the text, this book is really much more a textbook than
`an edited collection of chapters written by separate authors. Furthermore, unlike a
`collection of chapters, We have carefully designed the contents and organization of the
`book to present a cohesive view of all the important aspects of modern information
`retrieval.
`
`From IR models to indexing text, from IR visual tools and interfaces to the Web,
`from IR multimedia tordigital libraries, the book provides both breadth of coverage and
`richness of detail. It is our hope that, given the now clear relevance and significance of
`information retrieval to modern society, the book Will contribute to further disseminate
`the study of the discipline at information science, computer science, and library science
`departments throughout the World.

`Fifth, we thank the support of our institutions, the Departments of Com-
`puter Science of the University of Chile and of the Federal University of Minas
`Gerais, as well as the funding provided by national research agencies (CNPq in
`Brazil and CONICYT in Chile) and international collaboration projects, in par-
`ticular CYTED project VII.13 AMYRI (Environment for Information Managing
`and Retrieval in the World Wide Web) and Finep project SIAM (Information
`Systems for Mobile Computers) under the Pronex program.
`Most important, ‘to Helena, Rosa, and our children, who put up with a
`string of trips abroad, lost weekends, and odd working hours.

`1.1 Motivation
`
`Information retrieval (IR) deals with the representation, storage, organization
`of, and access to information items. The representation and organization of the
`information items should provide the user with easy access to the information in
`which he is interested. Unfortunately, characterization of the user information
`need is not a simple problem. Consider, for instance, the following hypothetical
`user information need in the context of the World Wide Web (or just the Web):
`
`A Find all the pages (documents) containing information on college ten-
`nis teams which: (1) are maintained by an university in the USA and
`(2) participate in the NCAA tennis tournament. To be relevant, the
`page must include information on the national ranking of the team
`in the last three years and the email or phone number of the team
`coach.
`
`Clearly, this full description of the user information need cannot be used directly
`to request information using the current interfaces of Web search engines.
`In-
`stead, the user must first translate this information need into a query which can
`be processed by the search engine (or IR system).
`In its most common form, this translation yields a set of keywords (or index
`terms) which summarizes the description of the user information need. Given the
`user query, the key goal of an IR system is to retrieve information which might
`be useful or relevant to the user. The emphasis is on the retrieval of information
`as opposed to the retrieval of data.
`
`1.1.1
`
`reformation versus Data Retrieval
`
`Data retrieval, in the context of an IR system, consists mainly of determining
`which documents of a collection contain the keywords in the user query which,

`
`subject than with retrieving data which satisfies a given query. A data retrieval
`language aims at retrieving all objects which satisfy clearly defined conditions
`such as those in a regular expression or in a relational algebra expression. Thus,
`for a data retrieval system, a single erroneous object among a thousand retrieved
`objects means total failure. For an information retrieval system, however, the
`retrieved objects might be inaccurate and small errors are likely to go unnoticed.
`The main reason for this difference is that information retrieval usually deals
`with natural language text which is not always well structured and could be
`semantically ambiguous. On the other hand, a data retrieval system (such as
`a relational database) deals with data that has a well defined structure and
`semantics.
`‘
`
`Data retrieval, while providing a solution to the user of a database system,
`does not solve the problem of retrieving information about a subject or topic.
`To be effective in its attempt to satisfy the user information need, the IR system
`must somehow ‘interpret’ the contents of the information items (documents)
`in a ‘collection and rank them according to a degree of relevance to the user
`query. This ‘interpretation’ of a document content involvesextracting syntactic
`and semantic information from the document text and using this information
`to match the user information need. The difficulty is not only knowing how
`to extr
