The last time I blogged about a new course I’m following at my university. This course, held by Pasquale Lops and Giovanni Semeraro, is very interesting at the point that I’ll be developing a custom information retrieval engine as part of my internship project. I can’t tell much more at this point since the internship haven’t started yet and I’m not sure I can release more details about this project (we’re still in the process of deciding if and how the whole thing will be released to the world).
In the meantime, I’ve been doing several experiments on this topic mostly about the memory usage and the performances of such system on limited hardware. This practically means implementing the algorithms you’ll be using and measuring the computational time they require.
