BIBLIOGRAPHIES


IR Collection
A bibliography about document structure and text modeling, IR modeling, access methods, distributed IR and the Internet, search interfaces, and systems. Created by Jay Jiang.

Information Retrieval Reference System
A bibliography of information retrieval not sorted by subject (about 255 titles) and a list of links to pages related to information retrieval. Developed by Arnon Rungsawang.

Information Retrieval Bibliography
A bibliography with the following topics: query processing, compression and signature, N-grams theory, probabilistic IR, data structure and indexing, experimental and performance, thesaurus, full text analysis, vector space, other retrieval strategies, pattern matching, applying distributed environment to IR, applying parallel environment to IR, IR applications, linguistics, and information extraction. Maintained by Chuleerat Jaruskulchai.

Information Retrieval Bibliography
Citations are on the folowing topics: uses and users, relevance, design of IR systems, selection of information resources, information representations, file organization, question analysis and search strategy, dissemination and access, and digital libraries. Compiled by Martha Pinto.

Salton
Gerard Salton In Memoriam: List of publications from the Bibliography Server on Database Systems & Logic Programming.

Latent Semantic Indexing
Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is a novel information retrieval method developed at Bellcore. By using statistical algorithms LSI can retrieve relevant documents even when they do not share any words with your query.

NLP references
References from the CMU Artificial Intelligence Repository page.

Human Computer Interaction Bibliography
The HCI Bibliography is a free-access searchable bibliography on Human-Computer Interaction. It now has now has over 19,000 entries. Most of the content for 1998 conferences and journals is now online, with over 1000 entries for items published in the past year.


CONFERENCES AND WORKSHOPS


SIGIR96
The 19th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval

TREC
The Text REtrieval Conference (TREC) is sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The group meets annually to discuss and present their work.

MUC
MUC-6, the sixth in a series of Message Understanding Conferences, was held in November 1995. These conferences, which have involved the evaluation of information extraction systems applied to a common task, have been funded by ARPA to measure and foster progress in information extraction.
