Information Access through Search Engines and Digital Libraries (The Information Retrieval Series)

Description

The Information Management Systems group at the University of Padua has been a major contributor to information retrieval (IR) and digital libraries for nearly twenty years. The papers in this book include coverage of automated text categorizations, web link analysis algorithms, retrieval in multimedia digital libraries, and multilingual information retrieval.

The presentation of original research results built on the past work of the group summarizes past findings and opens up new directions and new areas of possible future research and cooperation. The text will appeal to researchers and developers in institutions and companies working on search engines and information retrieval algorithms.

The Information Management Systems group, led by Maristella Agosti, has gained an excellent reputation in the IR community and has produced some of the best-known IR researchers, whose work spans a broad range of topics.
