Geometry of Information Retrieval

Klappentext Keith Van Rijsbergen demonstrates how different models of information retrieval (IR) can be combined in the same framework used to formulate the general principles of quantum mechanics. All the standard results can be applied to address problems in IR! such as pseudo-relevance feedback! relevance feedback and ostensive retrieval. The relation with quantum computing is examined. Appendices with background material on physics and mathematics are also included. Zusammenfassung The author shows how different models of information retrieval can be combined in the same framework used to formulate quantum mechanics. The relation with quantum computing is also examined. Appendices with background on physics and mathematics are included. This is an important! ground-breaking book! with much new and original material. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Prologue; 1. Introduction; 2. On sets and kinds in IR; 3. Vector and Hilbert spaces; 4.
