INTRODUCTION TO INFORMATION RETRIEVAL AND QUANT...

This book introduces the quantum mechanical framework to information retrieval scientists
seeking a new perspective on foundational problems. As such  it concentrates on the main
notions of the quantum mechanical framework and describes an innovative range of concepts and
tools for modeling information representation and retrieval processes. The book is divided into
four chapters. Chapter 1 illustrates the main modeling concepts for information retrieval
(including Boolean logic  vector spaces  probabilistic models  and machine-learning based
approaches)  which will be examined further in subsequent chapters. Next  chapter 2 briefly
explains the main concepts of the quantum mechanical framework  focusing on approaches linked
to information retrieval such as interference  superposition and entanglement. Chapter 3 then
reviews the research conducted at the intersection between information retrieval and the
quantum mechanical framework. The chapter is subdivided into a number of topics  and each
description ends with a section suggesting the most important reference resources. Lastly 
chapter 4 offers suggestions for future research  briefly outlining the most essential and
promising research directions to fully leverage the quantum mechanical framework for effective
and efficient information retrieval systems. This book is especially intended for researchers
working in information retrieval  database systems and machine learning who want to acquire a
clear picture of the potential offered by the quantum mechanical framework in their own
research area. Above all  the book offers clear guidance on whether  why and when to
effectively use the mathematical formalism and the concepts of the quantum mechanical framework
to address various foundational issues in information retrieval.
