Gerard Salton (1927- 1995)
A towering figure in the field of information retrieval, Gerard Salton synthesized
ideas from mathematics, statistics, and natural language processing to create
a scientific basis for extracting semantics from word frequency. The impact
of his contribution is profound - five textbooks, over 150 research papers,
and dozens of Ph.D. students. The modern information science research scene,
with its terabyte databases, Web, and related technologies, owes a great deal
to Gerry's pioneering efforts. |
