\subsection{Introduction to Information Retrieval}
\textbf{Information Retrieval (IR)} deals with identifying relevant information based on users' information needs, e.g.
web search engines, digital libraries, \& recommender systems.
It is finding material (usually documents) of an unstructured nature that satisfies an information need within large
collections (usually stored on computers).
