  • TTTP3053 Web Searching and Recommender Systems

The growth of the Web and the improvements in data creation, collection, and use, have led to a tremendous increase in the amount and complexity of the data that a search engine needs to handle. How to effectively and efficiently search for the documents relevant to our information needs and how to extract and recommend the valuable information are the subjects of this course. This course covers two hugely popular types of systems which are Web search engines and recommender systems. These systems are the most widely-used tool for accessing information on the Web. Web search engines attempt to locate information items (e.g., documents, Web pages) based on user specifications. Recommender systems discover information items (e.g., people, products) that are likely to be of interest to users. This course will explore both types of systems, underlining their shared principles. Roughly, two-thirds of the course will be devoted to search engines and one-third to recommender systems.
