Information Retrieval

This course provides a comprehensive exploration of Information Retrieval (IR) systems, ranging from traditional methods to cutting-edge approaches powered by Language Model (LM) technologies. Students will delve into the fundamental principles, techniques, and algorithms underlying search engines, recommender systems, and other IR applications. Through a blend of theoretical lectures, hands-on exercises, and real-world case studies, students will gain a deep understanding of IR concepts and their practical implications.
