CS 589 Text Mining and Information Retrieval
This course is a graduate-level course on fundamental techniques in information retrieval and text mining. By taking this course, students learn how to crawl, clean, process, mine, and infer knowledge from a massive amount of text data; how to build a search engine from scratch, in-cluding indexing, building retrieval models, and evaluating the performance of a search engine; they will also learn important machine learning and deep learning techniques for text data, in-cluding topic model, LSTM and BERT; finally, they will learn state-of-the-art research topics in text mining and information retrieval, and get research experience in these topics by working on the final project. Python programming experience recommended.
