{"product_id":"text-retrieval-and-filtering-robert-m-losee-9780792381778","title":"Text Retrieval and Filtering: Analytic Models of Performance","description":"\u003cem\u003eText Retrieval and Filtering: Analytical Models of Performance\u003c\/em\u003e is the first book that addresses the problem of analytically computing the performance of retrieval and filtering systems. The book describes means by which retrieval may be studied analytically, allowing one to \u003cem\u003edescribe\u003c\/em\u003e current performance, \u003cem\u003epredict\u003c\/em\u003e future performance, and to \u003cem\u003eunderstand why\u003c\/em\u003e systems perform as they do. The focus is on retrieving and filtering natural language text, with material addressing retrieval performance for the simple case of queries with a single term, the more complex case with multiple terms, both with term independence and term dependence, and for the use of grammatical information to improve performance. Unambiguous statements of the conditions under which one method or system will be more effective than another are developed. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eText Retrieval and Filtering: Analytical Models of Performance\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on the performance of systems that retrieve natural language text, considering full sentences as well as phrases and individual words. The last chapter explicitly addresses how grammatical constructs and methods may be studied in the context of retrieval or filtering system performance. The book builds toward solving this problem, although the material in earlier chapters is as useful to those addressing non-linguistic, statistical concerns as it is to linguists. Those interested in grammatical information should be cautioned to carefully examine earlier chapters, especially Chapters 7 and 8, which discuss purely statistical relationships between terms, before moving on to Chapter 10, which explicitly addresses linguistic issues. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eText Retrieval and Filtering: Analytical Models of Performance\u003c\/em\u003e is suitable as a secondary text for a graduate level course on Information Retrieval or Linguistics, and as a reference for researchers and practitioners in industry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert M.
