Information retrieval study

Abstract

As is well-known in the computer field, the basic scheme of information retrieval is to search a given set of data and extract those records which satisfy a certain set of criteria. While many schemes of information retrieval are being used, new techniques are always being considered and tested so that this very important task of computer technology can be perfected relative to any given set of circumstances. The impetus to develop more effective methods for recalling and correlating recorded information originated in the field of science and technology. It was evident more than 10 years ago that considerable improvements in methods for using recorded knowledge were long overdue. The search still goes on---to study, to invent, and to perfect.
