Web Retrieval
[zur Übersicht]Sommersemester 2011
Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.
(Samuel Johnson)
Outline
Information Retrieval (IR) is dealing with the storage, representation and management of information items. In a classical setting the information items correspond to text documents. With the advent of the World Wide Web, the methods of IR have been transferred to retrieval on the web. This poses different challenges and has spawned the area of Web Retrieval.
The lecture will give an introduction in established retrieval models for text based documents, models that exploit the graph structure of the WWW, the topic of evaluating the performance of retrieval systems and related tasks like classification and clustering of web documents.
