INST 734
Information Retrieval Systems
Spring 2018
Module 5: Monday February 26 to Sunday March 4
This module focused on evaluation of information retrieval systems.
The module is designed to be completed in 12 hours over 7 days. As
with every module, you must complete all componentents of this module
by midnight on the evening of the indicated end date for the module.
Module Checklist
The recommended order for completing the activities in this module is:
Read the Chapelle, et al.
paper. For sections 6, 7, 9, and 10 it would suffice to skim the
section to see what is being compared and then just read the summary
at the end of each of those sections. Don't fail to read the other
sections (including section 8) carefully, though.
Check ELMS to see if you have an additional reading summary assigned to you
this week. If so, complete that summary by midnight Thursday and
submit it using ELMS. Be sure to follow the guidance on page 2 of
the Example Reading
Summary that was provided in Module 1.
A lecture on Evaluation
from Chirag Shah's 2014 online informaion retrieval course at
Rutgers. (this is a large file, not streaming video, so allow
some time).
Finally, complete Project Assignment E5. Like all
assignments that you are asked to turn in, this is due at midnight on
the last day of the module.
