Information Retrieval Systems
Spring 2011
Syllabus
For each session this syllabus shows the top-level topics that we plan
to cover, chapters in the text and the lecture notes, links to other
required readings that should be read before the indicated class, and
assignments that students are required to complete before the
indicated class. All homework and programming assignments are due at
the beginning of class (late arrival in class will not change the time
when the assignment was due). The slides link will take you to the
Powerpoint slides for the indicated session, and a link to class
capture video for each session will be provided when possible.
