Title: Search Engines Information Retrieval in Practice by Prof. Bruce Croft
Link: http://ciir.cs.umass.edu/irbook/

Intro: This book provides an overview of the important issues in information retrieval, and how those issues affect the design and implementation of search engines. Not every topic is covered at the same level of detail. The focus is on some of the most important alternatives to implementing search engine components and the information retrieval models underlying them. The target audience for the book is advanced undergraduates in computer science, although it is also a useful introduction for graduate students. (from the link)

Intro: Statistical Machine Translation relies on parallel corpora for training translation models. However these corpora are limited and take time to create. Yalign is designed to automate this process by finding sentences that are close translation matches from comparable corpora. This opens up avenues for harvesting parallel corpora from sources like translated documents and the web.
