Information retrieval - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Information retrieval ( IR ) is the area of study concerned with searching for documents, for information within documents, and for metadata about documents, as well as that of searching structured storage , relational databases , and the World Wide Web . There is overlap in the usage of the terms data retrieval, document retrieval , information retrieval, and text retrieval , but each also has its own body of literature, theory, praxis , and technologies. IR is interdisciplinary , based on computer science , mathematics , library science , information science , information architecture , cognitive psychology , linguistics , statistics and law . Automated information retrieval systems are used to reduce what has been called " information overload ". Many universities and public libraries use IR systems to provide access to books, journals and other documents. Web search engines are the most visible IR applications .Data mining (the analysis step of the knowledge discovery in databases process, [ 1 ] or KDD), a relatively young and interdisciplinary field of computer science [ 2 ] [ 3 ] is the process of discovering new patterns from large data sets involving methods at the intersection of artificial intelligence , machine learning , statistics and database systems . [ 2 ] The overall goal of the data mining process is to extract knowledge from a data set in a human-understandable structure [ 2 ] and besides the raw analysis step involves database and data management aspects, data preprocessing , model and inference considerations, interestingness metrics, complexity considerations, post-processing of found structure, visualization and online updating .

Knowledge Retrieval seeks to return information in a structured form, consistent with human cognitive processes as opposed to simple lists of data items. It draws on a range of fields including epistemology (theory of knowledge), cognitive psychology , cognitive neuroscience , logic and inference , machine learning and knowledge discovery , linguistics , and information technology . The goal of knowledge retrieval systems is to reduce the burden of those processes by improved search and representation.
