Getting started with Hashing for Information retrieval I  recently finished my bachelors and now work on Cross-lingual language  search. I want to get started in hashing and see how they are useful  in information retrieval. (Yes, I know what hashing is), but there are so many methods and all of them  sound  pretty fascinating,  so it will be awesome to have a list of resources, which can be referred to,  starting from absolute newbie level to the current state-of-the art. 

Please don't refer me to something like a Knuth because while Knuth is pretty awesome, it is not what i am looking for.
Probably this may help you. May not cover all but I found this as a great place to start. http://burtleburtle.net/bob/hash/
