Description:
Theory, design, use, and evaluation of information retrieval (IR) systems. Design principles for IR systems and their implementation, characteristics of operational and experimental retrieval systems, and evaluation of information retrieval systems.
Learning Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Identify and describe the operation of the different components of IR systems
- Compare different IR systems according to their methods and performance
- Design and implement a summative evaluation scheme for operational IR systems
