Traditionally, information retrieval systems have been used by documentalists, librarians or lawyers to search for records. Today the situation has changed radically, hundreds of millions of people use information retrieval systems on a daily basis: they search the web, they search their mailbox, they search inside their computer or they receive recommendations for content consumption. Information retrieval has become the dominant area of information access overtaking traditional databases. Information retrieval systems are capable of solving user needs on unstructured text without the need for users to specify their query in a standard way. This course will explore the theoretical concepts that support information retrieval and access systems, as well as the software and tools for the construction of advanced search and filtering systems.
