We started off the new semester with an exciting new topic  – Learning to Rank! During our first meeting we reviewed basic Information Retrieval models, discussed search engine performance measures and started exploring how Machine Learning techniques can be applied in the construction of ranking models for Information Retrieval systems.

This semester GHOST meetings are scheduled for 4:50PM each Thursday, but next week is an exception – instead of Thursday (All Saints’ Day), we meet on Monday 29th October, 4:50PM, as usual in 423WE.
