Pull and Push - How Machines Deliver Text Data To Human

In this blog post we'll take a look at how information is delivered to human beings by machines. There are in fact different strategies that identify not only the context of information retrieval, but also user intent and means of delivery. We'll look into what information retrieval is, how user intent defines the objective and how this objective is achieved by specific information delivery systems.
