Course Objectives: | In completing the proposed course, the students will - gain an understanding of the basic concepts and techniques in Information Retrieval; - understand how statistical models of text can be used to solve problems in IR, with a focus on how the vector-space model and the language model can be applied to the document retrieval problem; - understand how statistical models of text can be used for other IR applications, for example clustering; - appreciate the importance of data structures such as an index to allow efficient access to the information in large bodies of text; - have experience of building a document retieval system, through the practical sessions, including the implementation of a relevance feedback system; - gain an understanding of the basic operations of image processing that support IR; - understand how image processing techniques for object recognition and motion detection can be used in solving the IR problem for image data; - appreciate how combined models of language and image processing can enhance document retrieval; |
