ZATOCODING AND DEVELOPMENTS IN INFORMATION RETRIEVAL

Abstract

It is a pleasure, as a visitor to your country, to find myself invited to talk to this audience about information retrieval. The invitation, as it came to me, contained the implication that there was a considerable curiosity here about my activities in this field in the United States. Some preliminary reconnoitring before the meeting convinced me that this was indeed the case. Your curiosity, then, furnishes me with an excellent excuse to talk about a number of things that I have been doing over the past few years.
