Mobile Information Retrieval: SpringerBriefs in Computer Science

Autor Fabio Crestani, Stefano Mizzaro, Ivan Scagnetto
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iul 2017
This book offers a helpful starting point in the scattered, rich, and complex body of literature on Mobile Information Retrieval (Mobile IR), reviewing more than 200 papers in nine chapters. Highlighting the most interesting and influential contributions that have appeared in recent years, it particularly focuses on both user interaction and techniques for the perception and use of context, which, taken together, shape much of today’s research on Mobile IR.

The book starts by addressing the differences between IR and Mobile IR, while also reviewing the foundations of Mobile IR research. It then examines the different kinds of documents, users, and information needs that can be found in Mobile IR, and which set it apart from standard IR. Next, it discusses the two important issues of user interfaces and context-awareness. In closing, it covers issues related to the evaluation of Mobile IR applications.

Overall, the book offers a valuable tool, helping new and veteran researchers alike to navigate this exciting and highly dynamic area of research.

Recenzii

“Overall, this is an interesting book to read. It is also an important summary of the mobile IR literature. Despite its relatively short length (less than 100 pages without reference), it manages to pack in a huge amount of useful information.” (Daqing He, Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, 2018)
 

Notă biografică
