Course Description
The graduate Computer Science class CS 6322 on Information Retrieval
provides
a strong grounding in the fundamentals of organizing on-line information, multimedia warehouses, Web search/crawling and digital libraries. This course is intended to prepare you to design, develop and use information systems. The course explores the practices, issues and theoretical foundations of organizing and analyzing information and information content for the purpose of providing intellectual access to textual and non-textual information resources. Students will learn how effective information search and retrieval is interrelated with the organization and description of information to be retrieved.

Learning Outcomes
CS 6322 focuses on the basic IR techniques, including indexing, clustering, crawling and satisfying information needs. The fundamental algorithms and techniques for each of these areas of information retrieval are studied. A variety of current research topics are also covered, including cross-lingual retrieval, document summarization, topic detection and tracking and multi-media retrieval. During this class state-of-the art techniques for building search engines will be covered and each student will gain hands-on experience with programming efficient Web spiders and crawlers as well as up-to-date search engines.

 Attendance Classroom Citizenship Class participation is given extra credit. Field Trip Policies There are no field trips. Student Conduct and Discipline
The University of Texas System and The University of Texas at Dallas have rules and regulations for the orderly and efficient conduct of their business. It is the responsibility of each student and each student organization to be knowledgeable about the rules and regulations which govern student conduct and activities. General information on student conduct and discipline is contained in the UTD publication,
 A to Z Guide 
, which is provided to all registered students each academic year. The University of Texas at Dallas administers student discipline within the procedures of recognized and established due process. Procedures are defined and described in the
Rules and Regulations, Board of Regents, The University of Texas System, Part 1, Chapter VI, Section 3 
, and in Title V, Rules on Student Services and Activities of the university’s
Handbook of Operating Procedures 
. Copies of these rules and regulations are available to students in the Office of the Dean of Students, where staff members are available to assist students in interpreting the rules and regulations (SU 1.602, 972/883-6391).  A student at the university neither loses the rights nor escapes the responsibilities of citizenship. He or she is expected to obey federal, state, and local laws as well as the Regents’ Rules, university regulations, and administrative rules. Students are subject to discipline for violating the standards of conduct whether such conduct takes place on or off campus, or whether civil or criminal penalties are also imposed for such conduct.
 
Academic Integrity
The faculty expects from its students a high level of responsibility and academic honesty. Because the value of an academic degree depends upon the absolute integrity of the work done by the student for that degree, it is imperative that a student demonstrate a high standard of individual honor in his or her scholastic work. Scholastic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, statements, acts or omissions related to applications for enrollment or the award of a degree, and/or the submission as one’s own work or material that is not one’s own.  As a general rule, scholastic dishonesty involves one of the following acts: cheating, plagiarism, collusion and/or falsifying academic records. Students suspected of academic dishonesty are subject to disciplinary proceedings. Plagiarism, especially from the web, from portions of papers for other classes, and from any other source is unacceptable and will be dealt with under the university’s policy on plagiarism (see general catalog for details). This course will use the resources of turnitin.com, which searches the web for possible plagiarism and is over 90% effective.
Email Use
The University of Texas at Dallas recognizes the value and efficiency of communication between faculty/staff and students through electronic mail. At the same time, email raises some issues concerning security and the identity
