1 - Illinois Institute of Technology
CS429 - Information Retrieval
1. 3 Credit Hours (3 lecture hours)
2. Course Manager – Dr. Shlomo Argamon, Professor
3. Introduction to Information Retrieval, Christopher D. Manning, Prabhakar Raghavan and Hinrich Schütze, Cambridge University Press. 2008.
4. Overview of fundamental issues of information retrieval with theoretical foundations. The information-retrieval techniques and theory, covering both effectiveness and run-time performance of information-retrieval systems are covered. The focus is on algorithms and heuristics used to find documents relevant to the user request and to find them fast. The course covers the architecture and components of the search engine such as parser, stemmer, index builder, and query processor. The students learn the material by building a prototype of such a search engine.
Prerequisites: CS331
Elective for Computer Science majors
5. Students should be able to:
• Explain the information retrieval storage methods (Inverted Index and Signature Files)
• Explain retrieval models, such as Boolean model, Vector Space model, Probabilistic model, Inference Networks, and Neural Networks.
• Explain retrieval utilities such as Stemming, Relevance Feedback, N-gram, Clustering, and Thesauri, and Parsing and Token recognition.
• Design and implement a search engine prototype using the storage methods, retrieval models and utilities.
• Apply the research ideas into their experiments in building a search engine prototype
The following Program Outcomes are supported by the above Course Outcomes:
a. An ability to apply knowledge of computing and mathematics appropriate to the discipline
c. An ability to design, implement and evaluate a computer-based system, process, component, or program to meet desired needs
d. An ability to function effectively on teams to accomplish a common goal.
f. An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
i. An ability to use current techniques, skills, and tools necessary for computing practices
j. An ability to apply mathematical foundations, algorithmic principles, and computer science theory in the modeling and design of computer-based systems in a way that demonstrates comprehension of the tradeoffs involved in design choices
k. An ability to apply design and development principles in the construction of software systems of varying complexity
