The Geometry of Information Retrieval

Rating:
Summary: Interesting in many ways
Review: Here are three cases where you can find this book very interesting:

1) You are interesting in the mathematical foundations of Information Retrieval, and a new and powerful approach to them catch your attention.

2) You are not very familiar with Quantum Theory, but you are not willing to go across lots of physics (movement of particles, experiments, etc.) and just want to learn about its most relevant logical features. The book explains them in a very clear way.

3) You are familiar with Quantum Theory, and suspect that its scope goes beyond physics, to the realm of information itself. Then you find this book, where it is proposed that the quantum language is a natural choice to formulate the foundations of Information Retrieval, a science of information handling.

Whatever your case is, do not think that the level of abstraction of the subjects treated will make this a difficult book to read. The argumentations are clear, simple, and the way it is written is very entertaining .
