Intelligent Information Retrieval: An Introduction.

Researchers are exploring the application of artificial intelligence techniques to information retrieval with the goal of providing intelligent access to online information. This article surveys several such systems to show what is possible in the lab today, and what may be possible in the library or office of tomorrow. Systems incorporating user modeling, natural language understanding, and expert systems technology are presented. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
