The world has widely changed in terms of communicating, acquiring, and storing information. Hundreds of millions of people are involved in information retrieval tasks on a daily basis, in particular while using a Web search engine or searching their e-mail, making such field the dominant form of information access, overtaking traditional database-style searching. How to handle this huge amount of information has now become a challenging issue. In this paper, after recalling the main topics concerning information retrieval, we present a survey on the main works on literature retrieval and mining in bioinformatics. While claiming that information retrieval approaches are useful in bioinformatics tasks, we discuss some challenges aimed at showing the effectiveness of these approaches applied therein.
在信息的交流、获取和存储方面，世界已经发生了巨大的变化。数以亿计的人每天都参与信息检索任务，特别是在使用网络搜索引擎或搜索电子邮件时，这使得这种信息获取方式成为主导形式，超越了传统的数据库式搜索。如何处理如此海量的信息现已成为一个具有挑战性的问题。在本文中，在回顾了与信息检索相关的主要主题之后，我们对生物信息学中文献检索和挖掘的主要工作进行了综述。在声称信息检索方法在生物信息学任务中有用的同时，我们讨论了一些挑战，旨在展示这些方法在其中应用的有效性。
