Distributed information systems
Summary
This course introduces the key concepts and algorithms from the areas of information retrieval, data mining and knowledge bases, which constitute the foundations of today's Web-based distributed information systems.

Learning Prerequisites
Recommended courses
Introductory courses to databases and machine learning are helpful, but not required.
Programming skills in Python are helpful, but not required.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the student must be able to:
- Characterize the main tasks performed by information systems, namely data, information and knowledge management
- Apply collaborative information management models, like crowd-sourcing, recommender systems, social networks
- Apply knowledge models, their representation through Web standards and algorithms for storing and processing semi-structured data
- Apply fundamental models and techniques of text retrieval and their use in Web search engines
Teaching methods
Ex cathedra + programming exercises (Python)
Assessment methods
25% Continuous evaluations with bonus system during the semester
75% Final written exam (180 min) during exam session
