課程概述 |
Course description
The course is designed to provide an introduction to the use, design and
evaluation of information (IR) systems. It covers major components in the IR
process such as information needs, search strategies, indexing as well as
retrieval evaluation. Special attention will be given to users’ information
environment within which IR is situated.

課程目標 |
Course objectives
1. To develop knowledge and skills to conduct effective online retrieval.
2. To acquire a basic understanding of the inner working of information
retrieval systems and the knowledge to assess their functions and features.
3. To be aware of the relationships between different types of search tasks and
search tactics.
4. To gain hand-on experiences in building a digitalized collection.

Group project: IR evaluation |
30% |
Students will form into a group of 4 to 5 to carry out the project. Each group will conduct an IR evaluation comparing 3 major Web-based search engines on two search topics.
a. To obtain the search topics, interview two users (preferably graduate students or faculty members), each on one research topic they are interested in. Collect from each user: a search statement and associated query terms that you both agree best represent her information need.
b. For each search topic, submit the queries on the user’s behalf to the three search engines you are testing. Collect the first 20 links from each of the three returned sets.
c. Find out the degree of overlap among the three returned sets.
d. Mix the non-duplicative (20X3, maximum) links together and strip the graphic cues. This is done so that the user will not be able to tell which search engine each link is from.
e. For each link, marks its original and rank position.
f. Present the URLs in Microsoft Word files that allow the users to examine the actual webpage by clicking on its hyperlink. Ask them to judge the relevance of the pages based on a 0-4 scale (0 stands for not relevant at all; 4, very relevant).
g. Create an EXCEL or SPSS data file to input the relevance scores.
h. Compare the performance of the search engines based on 1) first 20 "full" precision and 2) search length 2 (i.e. the number of links the user has to go through to find two relevant documents)
i. Turn in an 8 page written report on your findings and present them in the class.

In-class quiz |
10% |
The quiz is based on the lecture notes and handouts. The quiz will be held in class on November 21st ; there will be 4 short questions in the quiz. |

Online tutorial |
10% |
1. Search feature/command demo (accounts for 10% of your final grade)
Students will work in pairs to create and present a video demo that explains a search tactics or function available at PubMed database.

4. |
Group project: Digital library |
40% |
Students will form into a group of 4 to 5 to carry out the project.
Each group will build a functional online information retrieval system collaboratively using the Greenstone digital library (GSDL) open source software.
The project consists of three components: the implantation of a digital collection on the topic of your own choosing, a 10-15 page written report and an oral presentation of the project at the end of the semester.
The digital collection should include:
a. A minimum of 50 documents representative of different document formats such as pdf, word, and html.
b. An index structure that enables browsing of the collection
c. The provision of fielded search
The written report should:
d. Explain the aim, purpose, intended users and their information needs of the collection. It is better that you come up with an institutional context (real or imaginary) for the use of the collection.
e. Define your selection and indexing policies based on the aim and purpose stated above.
f. Include a graphic presentation of the browsable index structure and the rationales behind your design (i.e. explain why you choose certain facets/attributes to represent your collection)

Class participation |
10% |
Attendance to all class sessions is mandatory. Your grade will be judged based on you attendance and participation in the class discussion. If you don’t get the chance to participate in the class, submit your comments or questions to the online forum. |
