Lecture (LEC)
In this course you will learn about the fundamentals of modern information retrieval (IR) and text mining with a special focus on search engines. The course is roughly organized into three sections: in the first few sessions we will introduce the field of Information Retrieval (IR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and cover some mathematical basics to understand the rest of the material. Then we move on to classical retrieval models and discuss how search engines work. Finally, we introduce select topics in text mining, namely text summarization and topic analysis.
