Proceedings of the Third Dutch-Belgian Information Retrieval Workshop (DIR 2002)

Statistically-based approaches to language and information processing (LIP) were novelties in the 1960s. They were hard to implement in practice, through lack of data and machine power, and hard for many to accept in theory. But they were successfully applied to document retrieval, showing how LIP tasks could be viewed in a productive new way. In the last decade there have been striking further developments, extending statistically-based LIP theory and practice in novel and challenging directions. The talk will illustrate some of the possibilities and problems involved.
