Neural Network and Its Application in IR

This is a literature review on neural networks and related algorithms. It is aimed to get a general understanding on neural networks and find out the possible applications of these models in information retrieval (IR) systems. Beginning with a preliminary definition and typical structure of neural networks, neural networks are studied with respect to their learning processes and architecture structures. A case study on some specific networks and related algorithms is followed. The applications of some neural network models and related algorithms in information retrieval systems are then investigated. Problems on applying neural network models into IR systems are finally summarized in the conclusion.
