To do so, different kinds of IR problems that have been solved by evolutionary algorithms are analyzed. Some of the specific existing approaches will be specifically described for some of these problems and the obtained results will be critically evaluated in order to give a clear view of the topic to the reader.}, organization = {CICYT under project TIC2002-03276}, organization = {University of Granada under project ‘‘Mejora de Metaheur ısticas mediante Hibridaci on y sus Aplicaciones’}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Information retrieval}, keywords = {Evolutionary algorithms}, keywords = {Automatic indexing}, keywords = {Document clustering}, keywords = {Query definition}, keywords = {User profiles}, keywords = {Internet search agents}, keywords = {Image retrieval}, keywords = {Similarity functions}, keywords = {Web pages}, keywords = {Inteligencia artificial}, keywords = {Artificial intelligence}, title = {A review on the application of evolutionary computation to information retrieval}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijar.2003.07.010}, author = {Cordón García, Óscar and Herrera Viedma, Enrique and Luque, M. and Zarco, C.}, }
