CS 5550 - Intro to Info Retrieval

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Computer Science

Description:

Information retrieval (IR) is a research topic that concerns the organization, understanding, and access of information. Example applications of IR such as search engines (e.g., Google) and recommender systems (e.g., Spotify) have already become a significant part of everybody's lives. In this course, you will learn about the basic concepts of information retrieval and the underlying technologies that support the construction of modern IR systems. You will also obtain hands-on experience on these techniques by proposing and finishing your own information retrieval projects using existing toolkits and state-of-the-art algorithms. This is a combination of the undergraduate level (CS 5550) and graduate level (CS 6550) introductory courses for information retrieval. It will cover the basic design, algorithms, implementation, and evaluation of modern information retrieval systems. Topics include: search engine architecture, text processing, indexing, retrieval models, evaluation, and other advanced techniques and applications such as personalization, recommendation, question answering, etc. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in CS 3130 AND CS 3500 AND (Full Major status in Computer Science OR Software Development)
