"An introduction to information retrieval including indexing, retrieval, classifying, and clustering text and multimedia documents."

 

Information Retrieval is a *the* hot industry on the web today thanks to Google, Yahoo!, MSN and all of the other competitors out there both current and past. The amount of effort required to translate your 2 or 3 keywords into 5-10 relevant documents is enormous. During this class we will attempt to explore some of the complexities behind search.
