During the winter semester, the FernUniversität Hagen will offer the course “Information Retrieval” (course number 63415), which I have the privilege of teaching as an adjunct instructor in the Multimedia and Internet Applications department.
Registered users can find all the relevant information in the FUH learning environment (https://moodle.fernuni-hagen.de/course/view.php?id=6565). Nevertheless, I think it’s important to include a few resources here as well for anyone interested in the topic. Below, you’ll find the course videos for each lesson.
Chapter 1 – Introduction
Chapter 2 – Index and Indexing
Chapter 3 – Exact & Best Match Methods
Chapter 4 – Precision & Recall, Evaluation
Chapter 5 – Distributed Information Retrieval
Chapter 6 – Taxonomies, Thesauri, and Ontologies
Chapter 7 – Semantics
I would also like to take this opportunity to once again mention the book “Multimedia Information Retrieval” by Prof. Hemmje and myself, in which those interested can find a comprehensive overview and detailed insights into the topic.
