Abstract

This chapter introduces Bengali Information Retrieval (IR) to students by explaining the fundamental concepts of IR such as indexing, retrieval, and evaluation metrics. This chapter also provides a survey of and comparisons between various Bengali language-specific methodologies, and hence can serve researchers particularly interested in the state-of-the-art developments in Bengali IR. It can also act as a guideline for application developers on how to set up an information retrieval system for the Bengali language. All steps for creating and evaluating an information retrieval system are introduced, including content processing, indexing, retrieval models, and evaluation. Special attention is given to language-specific aspects of Bengali information retrieval. In addition, the chapter discusses cross-lingual information retrieval, where queries are entered in English with an objective to retrieving Bengali documents.
