Summary

In this chapter, we have discussed information retrieval. We have mainly learned about stop words removal. Stop words are eliminated so that information retrieval and text summarization tasks become faster. We have also discussed the implementation of text summarization, question-answering systems, and vector space models.

In the next chapter, we'll study the concepts of discourse analysis and anaphora resolution.
