Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Web Information Retrieval
Book SynopsisWith the proliferation of huge amounts of (heterogeneous) data on the Web, the importance of information retrieval (IR) has grown considerably over the last few years. Big players in the computer industry, such as Google, Microsoft and Yahoo!, are the primary contributors of technology for fast access to Web-based information; and searching capabilities are now integrated into most information systems, ranging from business management software and customer relationship systems to social networks and mobile phone applications.Ceri and his co-authors aim at taking their readers from the foundations of modern information retrieval to the most advanced challenges of Web IR. To this end, their book is divided into three parts. The first part addresses the principles of IR and provides a systematic and compact description of basic information retrieval techniques (including binary, vector space and probabilistic models as well as natural language search processing) before focusing on its application to the Web. Part two addresses the foundational aspects of Web IR by discussing the general architecture of search engines (with a focus on the crawling and indexing processes), describing link analysis methods (specifically Page Rank and HITS), addressing recommendation and diversification, and finally presenting advertising in search (the main source of revenues for search engines). The third and final part describes advanced aspects of Web search, each chapter providing a self-contained, up-to-date survey on current Web research directions. Topics in this part include meta-search and multi-domain search, semantic search, search in the context of multimedia data, and crowd search.The book is ideally suited to courses on information retrieval, as it covers all Web-independent foundational aspects. Its presentation is self-contained and does not require prior background knowledge. It can also be used in the context of classic courses on data management, allowing the instructor to cover both structured and unstructured data in various formats. Its classroom use is facilitated by a set of slides, which can be downloaded from www.search-computing.org.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“The book covers not only a wide range, but everything that is essential to the topic of Web information retrieval. … this book is an excellent starting point into the field of Web information retrieval, and can be recommended for classroom use.” (Gottfried Vossen, zbMATH, Vol. 1283, 2014)“... this book is a valuable resource for students and instructors in web IR, primarily as a reference to supplement course teaching. Researchers and practitioners should find the book a useful quick reference guide for key concepts, techniques, and recent trends in web IR.” (Wingyan Chung, ACM Computing Reviews, July 2014)Table of ContentsPart I Principles of Information Retrieval.- An Introduction to Information Retrieval.- The Information Retrieval Process.- Information Retrieval Models.- Classification and Clustering.- Natural Language Processing for Search.- Part II Information Retrieval for the Web.- Search Engines.- Link Analysis.- Recommendation and Diversification for the Web.- Advertising in Search.- Part III Advanced Aspects of Web Search.- Publishing Data on the Web.- Meta-Search and Multi-Domain Search.- Semantic Search.- Multimedia Search.- Search Process and Interfaces.- Human Computation and Crowd Search.

Amsterdam University Press Open Data and the Knowledge Society
Book SynopsisWhile there is a lot of talk about how we now live in a knowledge society, the reality has been less impressive: We have yet to truly transition to a knowledge society-in part, this book argues, because discussion mostly focuses on a knowledge economy and information society rather than on ways to mobilise to create an actual knowledge society. That all may change, however, with the rise of open data and big data. This book considers the role of the open data movement in fostering transformation, showing that at the heart of any successful mobilisation will be an emerging open data ecosystem and new ways for societal actors to effectively produce and use data.Table of ContentsChapter One: Introduction Chapter Two: Defining a 'Knowledge Society' Chapter Three: Visions of Open Data Chapter Four: Mobilizing Open Data Chapter Five: Institutions in the Data Ecosystem: Actors in the Public Knowledge Domain and in Private Data Companies Chapter Six: Mobilizing Data: Scientific Disciplines, Scientific Practice, and Making Research Data Open Chapter Seven: Mobilizing Data: Environmental Data, Technical and Governance Issues Chapter Eight: Navigating Legal and Ethical Regulatory Frameworks Chapter Nine: Big Data, Open Data, and the Commercial Sector

Springer Verlag, Singapore Evaluating Information Retrieval and Access Tasks: NTCIR's Legacy of Research Impact
Book SynopsisThis open access book summarizes the first two decades of the NII Testbeds and Community for Information access Research (NTCIR). NTCIR is a series of evaluation forums run by a global team of researchers and hosted by the National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan. The book is unique in that it discusses not just what was done at NTCIR, but also how it was done and the impact it has achieved. For example, in some chapters the reader sees the early seeds of what eventually grew to be the search engines that provide access to content on the World Wide Web, today’s smartphones that can tailor what they show to the needs of their owners, and the smart speakers that enrich our lives at home and on the move. We also get glimpses into how new search engines can be built for mathematical formulae, or for the digital record of a lived human life. Key to the success of the NTCIR endeavor was early recognition that information access research is an empirical discipline and that evaluation therefore lay at the core of the enterprise. Evaluation is thus at the heart of each chapter in this book. They show, for example, how the recognition that some documents are more important than others has shaped thinking about evaluation design. The thirty-three contributors to this volume speak for the many hundreds of researchers from dozens of countries around the world who together shaped NTCIR as organizers and participants. This book is suitable for researchers, practitioners, and students—anyone who wants to learn about past and present evaluation efforts in information retrieval, information access, and natural language processing, as well as those who want to participate in an evaluation task or even to design and organize one.Table of ContentsChapter 1.
