Intelligent information retrieval: some research trends

  • Conference paper
Advances in Soft Computing

Summary

In this paper some research trends in the field of Information Retrieval are presented. The focus is on the definition of “intelligent” systems, i.e. systems that can represent and manage the vagueness and uncertainty which is characteristic of the process of information searching and retrieval.
