This page lists all known internet-accessible information filtering resources. If you are aware of resources which do not appear here, please send mail to Jinmook Kim. Since it's impossible to look at everything here, we are often asked where to start. We've tried to answer that in the recent paper, "A Conceptual Framework for Text Filtering." Although we know of no comprehensive bibliography of papers, theses and dissertations on information filtering which exist only in printed form, scanning the bibliographies in the first three sections will reveal almost every source that we are aware of. There is also a good start at a comprehensive bibliography at the University of North Carolina in the third section.

Conferences and Workshops

A list of of past and upcomming conferences and workshops on information filtering and related areas.

Freely Available Filtering Systems

Working information filtering systems which are publicly available. In most cases, papers describing the theory and/or implementation details are also available.

Papers and Project Descriptions

Descriptions of experimental or proprietary systems for which the software is not being distributed. If you're looking for papers you should also check the previous sections because research results included there are not repeated in this section.

Related Resources

Web pages which collect links to resources that may be of interest to information filtering researchers.

Other People

Home pages of people who have either published work on information filtering that is not presently available on the net or who are actively working in the field. This is not a good place to look for papers, but a great way to learn how to contact people who don't appear in any of the previous sections.
