I own this book and found it rather disappointing. Somewhat chaotic, with poor treatment of many subjects. Lacks consistency.

- christiansmith 12y agoFor those that might pass by this link without clicking, it's worth noting that it's a paper by Sergey Brin and Larry Page titled "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine." Looks like a great read. Thanks for posting!
- nisa 12y agoI know both and I enjoyed this one more: http://www.ir.uwaterloo.ca/book/ http://www.ir.uwaterloo.ca/book/
- jwr 12y agoNot a direct alternative, but "Foundations of Statistical Natural Language Processing" by Manning and Schuetze is of significantly higher quality, and explains many of the concepts you will need for information retrieval. Also, "Speech and Language Processing" by Jurafsky and Martin is an excellent book.
