Information Filtering Resources
This page is designed as a resource for people conducting research in
information filtering. It is
maintained as part of the Information
Filtering Project at the University of Maryland. The first
section may be of interest to a wider audience, though, since it
contains links to working systems for a variety of operating systems
which are freely available on the net, and the third section should
become more valuable to a wide audience as links to more commercial
systems are added.
This page lists all known internet-accessible information filtering
resources. If you are aware of resources which do not appear here,
please send mail to Doug Oard.
Since it's impossible to look at everything here, I'm often asked
where to start. I've tried to answer that in my recent paper. Although I know of no
comprehensive bibliography of papers, theses and dissertations on
information filtering which exist only in printed form, scanning the
bibliographies in the first two sections will reveal almost every
source that I am aware of. There is also a good start at a
comprehensive bibliography at the University of North Carolina in the
second section.
Working information filtering systems which are publicly available.
In most cases, papers describing the theory and/or implementation
details are also available.
Descriptions of experimental or proprietary systems for which the
software is not being distributed. If you're looking for papers you
should also check the previous section because research results
included there are not repeated in this section.
Home pages of people who have either published work on information
filtering that is not presently available on the net or who are
actively working in the field. This is not a good place to look for
papers, but a great way to learn how to contact people who don't
appear in either of the previous two sections.
An incomplete sample of commercial systems that might be of interest
to researchers in the field.
An incomplete list of conferences and workshops which include some
treatment of information filtering.
Web pages which collect links to resources that may be of interest to
information filtering researchers.
Newspaper and Magazine articles about information filtering.
