General Information
The exercise session takes place at 16:15 - 17:00 in CAB G 51.
The book “Introduction to Information Retrieval” by C.D. Manning, P. Raghavan and H. Schütze can be found here. Personally, I found it quite useful if you want a different view / explanation on the topics discussed in the lectures, but it is not required for passing the course.
Exercises
There are weekly quizzes and Jupyter Notebooks that you may solve as an exercise. I would recommend to do the weekly quizzes at least, since they will give you the most benefit for the exam.
Bonus points
There is an opportunity to receive bonus points, up to 0.25, which will count towards your final grade. The bonus consists of three of the weekly quizzes, from which you will need to get the required points from two of them, on the dates specified below:
- 21.03 Tolerant Retrieval
- 18.04 Index Compression
- 02.05 Vector Space Model
It is possible to pass the quizzes without solving the Jupyter-Notebook, but I would recommend to solve it in the week with the bonuses. The time limit for each quiz is one week, you have one attempt.
