Acknowledgments
We would like to thank Gary Marchionini and Diane Cerra for inviting us to participate in this timely and important lecture series, with a special thank you to Diane for her assistance and patience in guiding us through the publication process. We would also like to thank Morgan & Claypool’s reviewers, including Susan Feldman, Stephen Arnold and John Tait, for their thoughtful suggestions and comments on our manuscript. Ms. Feldman and Mr. Arnold are constant sources of insight for all of us working in search and information access-related disciplines, and we welcome Mr. Tait’s remarks based on his long IR research experience at the University of Sunderland and his more recent efforts at advancing research in IR for patents and other large scale collections at the Information Retrieval Facility.
In addition, we are grateful to our colleagues and managers at Exalead for allowing us time to work on this lecture, and for providing valuable feedback on our draft manuscript, especially Olivier Astier, Stéphane Donzé and David Thoumas. We would also like to thank our partners and customers. They are the source of the examples provided in this book, and they have played a pioneering role in expanding the boundaries of applied search technologies, in general, and search-based applications, in particular.
Finally, we would like to thank our families. Their love sustains us in all we do, and we dedicate this book to them.
