Finding Out About
- R. K. Belew
I found this reading interesting because the act of "finding out about" is such a basic function but I had never given it much thought. I think that step 3 assessing the answer is the most interesting step from a human perspective because I think that there are many factors at play to judge the answer.
This article also provided a nice overview of indexing and the challenges of selecting keywords to use for building an index.
Information Retrieval: Implementing and Evaluating Search Engines
- S. Büttcher, C. L. A. Clarke & G. V. Cormack
This article introduced some practical considerations for Information Retrieval systems such as: result quality (relevance), challenges of indexing, updating documents, and system performance.I appreciated that this article was more recent than the others. I think Google has spoiled us and so we take for granted how effective web search currently is.
Question
Now that we've seen an over view of the components of a Information Retrieval system, which component has the most room for future study and improvement?
