Information retrieval algorithms: a survey

We give an overview of some algorithmic problems arising in the representation of text/image/multimedia objects in a form amenable to automated searching, and in conducting these searches efficiently. These operations are central to information retrieval and digital library systems. tional linguistics; (3) user interfaces and user models; (4) network and distributed retrieval issues including server/network performance and load balancing; (5) se-curity, access control and rights management. 1 Introduction.
