<h1>AI539: Advanced Information Retrieval &ndash; Spring 2024</h1>
</div>
<h2>Course Description</h2>
<p>This course covers the foundations and recent advancements of Information Retrieval (IR). The course focues on the design and implementation of text-based information systems such as search engine and recommender systems. We will covers topics including crawling and indexing, query understanding, (large) language models, learning to rank, interactive search, evaluation and user models, question answering, conversational system, and neural models for IR. </p>
<h2>Course Information</h2>
<h3>Lectures</h3>
<p>Tuesday &amp; Thursday 4:00-5:20pm at Weniger Hall 275</p>
<h3>Instructor</h3>
<p><a href="https://huazhengwang.github.io/">Huazheng Wang</a> <br />
Email: huazheng.wang [at] oregonstate.edu <br />
Office: KEC 3097 <br />
Office hours: Tuesday 2-4pm, KEC 3097; Friday 1-2pm, KCE3097/Zoom (by appointment)<br /></p>
<h3>Contact</h3>
<p>We will use Canvas for posting slides and assignments, and Discord for communication. See Canvas announcements for the link to Discord channel. </p>
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<ul>
<li><p>Python. We will use Python/Jupyter notebook for programming assignments. </p>
