- 1. Information retrieval is the process of obtaining relevant information from a collection of data. It involves searching for and retrieving data that is important, useful, and matches the user's information needs. Information retrieval systems utilize various techniques such as indexing, querying, and ranking to efficiently locate and present relevant information to users. These systems play a crucial role in making vast amounts of data accessible and manageable, enabling users to find, access, and make use of valuable information resources.
