Böcker i Foundations and Trends (R) in Information Retrieval-serien

Focuses predominantly on the problems and solutions proposed in traditional areas while also looking briefly at the emerging areas. To facilitate future research, a discussion of available resources, a list of public benchmark datasets and a discussion on future research directions are provided in the concluding sections.

Offers a survey of the science and practice of web crawling. This survey outlines the fundamental challenges and describes state-of-the-art models and solutions. It also highlights avenues for future work.

Provides a comprehensive review of explainable recommendation research. The authors first highlight the position of explainable recommendation in recommender system research by categorizing recommendation problems into the 5W. They then conduct a comprehensive survey of explainable recommendation.

Offers the first survey of neural approaches to conversational AI that targets Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval audiences. The book provides a csurvey of the neural approaches to conversational AI that have been developed, covering QA, task-oriented and social bots with a unified view of optimal decision making.

Provides an overview of bandit algorithms inspired by various aspects of Information Retrieval (IR), such as click models, online ranker evaluation, personalization or the cold-start problem. Using a survey style, each chapter focuses on a specific IR problem and explains how it was addressed with various bandit approaches.

In this concise history of the early years of information retrieval, Donna Harman, one of the pioneers of the field, provides the reader with a plethora of insights into the important work that led us to where we are today. Written in a chronological order, this book lays out how each contribution built on what went before.

Surveys two important components of modern information access: information retrieval (IR) and knowledge graphs (KGs). The authors provide an overview of the literature on KGs in the context of IR and the components required when building IR systems that leverage KGs.

Covers five areas related to the mining of user interests from social media: the foundations of social user interest modeling; techniques that have been adopted; evaluation methodologies and benchmark datasets; applications that have been taking advantage of user interest mining; and challenges, research questions, and opportunities.

Reviews research on the design and evaluation of search user interfaces of the past 10 years. It integrates state-of-the-art research in the areas of information seeking behavior, information retrieval, and human-computer interaction on the topic of search interface.
