Obiettivi

The course aims at:
• Introducing and exploring topics related to data-driven algorithms for the induction of knowledge from large scale data collections;
• Presenting the major data models underlying Web search engines and for Enterprise Search
• Studying technologies and formalisms for the treatment of unstructured Web data through Artifical Intelligence and Natural Language Processing methods and for the linguistic processing of texts and Social Web data
• Introducing experimental practices in application such as Semantic document management, Web Network Analysis and Opinion Mining.
