What is the Value of Information - Search Engine’s Point of View

Abstract

Abstract. Within the domain of Information Retrieval, and in particular in the area of Web Search Engines, it has become obvious long time ago that there is a deep discrepancy between how the information is understood within computer science and by the man-in-the-street.We want to make an overview of ways how the apparent gap can be closed using tools that are technologically available nowadays.The key to a success probably lies in approximating (by means of artificial intelligence) the way people judge the value of information.
