SOUHLAS
As the main teacher will take a sabbatical in Spring 2024, this year's lectures will be [partly] substituted by previous year's recordings and invited lectures. Enrollment will be limited (SOUHLAS needed) with preference given to UMI students. Curiosity and motivation to retrieve information about information retrieval. Chapters 1--5 benefit from a basic course on algorithms and data structures. Chapters 6--7 need in addition linear algebra, vectors, and dot products. For Chapters 11--13 basic probability notions are needed. Chapters 18--21 demand course in linear algebra, notions of matrix rank, eigenvalues, and eigenvectors.

Cíle předmětu
The main objectives of this course are to introduce principles of information retrieval and get acquainted with machine learning algorithms for NLP-based text processing.
Výstupy z učení
Students will understand document preprocessing, tokenization, lemmatization, indexing, and querying done on up to a web-scale (as Google does). First principles and algorithms of NLP-based text preprocessing, text semantic filtering and classification, and web searching needed for information systems and digital library design will be taught.

Výukové metody
Student activities explicitly welcomed as a part of evaluation. Mentoring rather than ex-cathedra lectures: ``The flipped classroom is a pedagogical model in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed.'' Students will be expected to come prepared by reading the given materials in advance. Contact hours will be devoted to a topically constrained discussion or to solving examples during exercises. This will respect individual learning speed and students' apriori knowledge. Rich study materials are available: MOOC, materials on http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs276/, including the whole IIR book http://nlp.stanford.edu/IR-book/.
These teaching methods may be complemented by invited lectures of specialists from the IR community (researchers of Seznam, Facebook, RaRe Technologies, etc.).
Metody hodnocení
Evaluation is based on the system that motivates students for continuous work during the semester and for active participation in the course.
The classification system is based on points achieved (100 pts). A student can get 60 pts during the term: 20 pts for each of two programming tasks, 12 pts for evaluation of your colleague's results, 8 pts for your activity during the term (lectures or discussion forums,...). 40 pts could be achieved in the final test (ROPOT in IS), consisting of multiple-choice questions (2x20 pts). In addition, one can get additional premium points based on activities during lectures, exercises (good answers) or negotiated related projects. Grading scale (adjustments based on ECTS suggestions) z/k[/E/D/C/B/A] corresponds approximately to 50/57/[64/71/78/85/92] points.
Dates of at least three terms of final exams will be announced via IS.muni.cz.
