Welcome to the Wiki page of the course Search Engines, WS 2009 / 2010. Lecturer: Hannah Bast. Tutorials: Marjan Celikik. Course web page: click here.

Here are PDFs of the slides of the lectures so far: Lecture 1, Lecture 2, Lecture 3, Lecture 4, Lecture 5, Lecture 6, Lecture 7, Lecture 8, Lecture 9.

Here are .lpd files of the recordings of the lectures so far (except Lecture 2, where we had problems with the microphone): Recording Lecture 1, Recording Lecture 3, Recording Lecture 4, Recording Lecture 5 (no audio), Recording Lecture 6 (with audio for a change), Recording Lecture 7 (AVI), Recording Lecture 8 (AVI).

Here are PDFs of the exercise sheets so far: Exercise Sheet 1, Exercise Sheet 2, Exercise Sheet 3, Exercise Sheet 4, Exercise Sheet 5, Exercise Sheet 6, Exercise Sheet 7, Exercise Sheet 8, Exercise Sheet 9.

Here are your solutions and comments on the previous exercise sheets: Solutions and Comments 1, Solutions and Comments 2, Solutions and Comments 3, Solutions and Comments 4, Solutions and Comments 5, Solutions and Comments 6, Solutions and Comments 7, Solutions and Comments 8.

The recordings of all lectures are now available, see above. Lecture 2 is missing because we had technical problems there. To play the Lecturnity recordings (.lpd files) you need the Lecturnity Player, which you can download here. I put the Camtasia recordings as .avi files, which you can play with any ordinary video player; I would recommend VLC.

Here are the rules for the exercises as explained in Lecture 2.

Here is everything about the mid-term exam.

Just to remind you that tomorrow, January 7, we have a regular lecture!

Note that the first lecture after the winter break will be on Thursday, January 7. Apart from a new regular topic, in that lecture I will also summarize your feedback from Exercise 4 of Sheet 8, and give my comments on it + explain various new rules which hopefully suit you better.
