Teaching
"One of the essential tenets of my teaching philosophy is the belief that education should be an ongoing process of inspiring students to recognize how the subjects they are learning are conntected to their abilities." -- from Jiho's statement of teaching philosophy
Information Retrieval
Information Retrieval is a course that focuses on the techniques and algorithms used to search and retrieve information from large collections of data. It covers topics such as indexing, query processing, relevance feedback, and text mining. The course also covers the use of search engines and other information retrieval systems.
