Advanced Information Retrieval

Advanced topics on information retrieval: - Advanced methods for information retrieval (IR), such as Learn-to-rank (LTR), clustering and classification for IR. - Indexing methods for scalable retrieval - Personalising of results - Temporal information retrieval - Spatio-temporal information retrieval - Statistics for IR - IR methods for streaming data

A. Knowledge: The students is aimed at learning and undestand the principles, techniques and methods behind advanced information retrieval B. Skills: The candidate will be trained to actively apply principles, techniques and methods from the information retrieval domain on advanced applications such as multimedia search and retrieval of biomedical information. It is a goal that the students will be able to identify which methods are currently state of the art within IR and that they can build on this to extend one or more of the methods. C. Competence: The candidate shall be able to implement advanced techniques for retrieval of a variation of information types
