Information Retrieval and Web Mining

Last semester I had to select a research topic for my Computer Seminar course. The topic I selected was "Personalized Search". I have always been interested in Information Retrieval and hence thought that it was a perfect opportunity to learn more about this field.

Even before I could starting doing research on personalization, I had to do a lot of reading and research related to information retrieval and web mining. In the process, I learned a lot about IR. However, I hardly get the chance to practice what I learned. Hence, I have decided to blog about what I learned related to IR every week....well, almost every week.

So why blog about this? Well, this will help me revise what I learned and maybe learn something new.

I hope that other people will find it helpful as well.
