CMSC 676 - Information Retrieval

[3]

This course is an introduction to the theory and implementation of software systems designated to search through large collections of text. This course will have two main thrusts. The first is to cover the fundamentals of IR: retrieval models, search algorithms and IR evaluation. The second is to give a taste of the implementation issues through the construction and use of a text search engine.
Prerequisite: Prerequisite: CMSC 341.
