Abstract

hree search gurus, Chris Manning, Prabhakar Raghavan (head of Yahoo Research), and Hinrich Schutze, just published a wonderful new book, "Introduction to Information Retrieval". If you work in search or if you are just the kind of person that reads textbooks for fun, this one is a great one. It not only describes how to build a search engine (including crawling, indexing, ranking, classification, and clustering), but also offers the kind of opinionated wisdom you can only get from people who have had substantial experience using these techniques at large scale.

Description

The book aims to provide a modern approach to information retrieval from a computer science perspective. It is based on a course we have been teaching in various forms at Stanford University and at the University of Stuttgart.
