Information Retrieval
The field of Information Retrieval is gaining in significance every
day. There is more and more data available and we seem to have less
and less time to read it all and decide what is relevant to us.
Forunatelly, there are quite a few good automatic methods that can
help us reduce the amount of data by presenting us with the articles,
web pages, book reviews, news briefings, etc. which have the highest
probability to be of interest to us. Some methods of information
retrieval and filtering can incorporate relevance feedback, i.e. a way
for system evolves as our interests change.
