SIMS 296a-3: Current Topics in Information Access

Overview Schedule & Lectures Readings & Assignments Pre-Requisites	Pre-Requisites Permission of instructor is required for attendance. It is preferable but not required for students to have some background in information retrieval and human-computer interaction. Students lacking in background may be asked to read materials in addition to those assigned for general discussion. Students who have little background in information access are encouraged to get familiar with important readings. You may want to read papers from Part II of the Fall 97 SIMS 202 reader. You can order a copy at Copy Central on Bancroft. Call 510-848-8649 and ask for either Muji or Gary and tell them you want a copy of the SIMS202 reader Part II. It takes a couple days for them to produce the reader. More good background reading can be found in the book by Frakes and Baeza-Yates, Information Retrieval: Data Structures and Algorithms, Prentice Hall, 1992. I have one copy that I can lend out.
