This course introduces students to the Information Retrieval (IR) systems. IR is the process through which a computer system can respond to a user s query for text-based information on a specific topic. IR systems should only retrieve documents such as text, images, speed or video that is relevant to a user s interest. Basic and advanced techniques for building text-based IR systems such as efficient text indexing and documents clustering and classification will be explored.
