  Web space is the huge repository of data. Everyday lots of new information
get added to this web space. The more the information, more is demand for tools
to access that information. Answering users' queries about the online
information intelligently is one of the great challenges in information
retrieval in intelligent systems. In this paper, we will start with the brief
introduction on information retrieval and intelligent systems and explain how
swoogle, the semantic search engine, uses its algorithms and techniques to
search for the desired contents in the web. We then continue with the
clustering technique that is used to group the similar things together and
discuss the machine learning technique called Self-organizing maps [6] or SOM,
which is a data visualization technique that reduces the dimensions of data
through the use of self-organizing neural networks. We then discuss how SOM is
used to visualize the contents of the data, by following some lines of
algorithm, in the form of maps. So, we could say that websites or machines can
be used to retrieve the information that what exactly users want from them.
