Online Course: Text Retrieval and Search Engines

Very nice to course to learn how to implement search engine. Thanks to the course, I was able to build a basic search engine in C# having features introduced in the course such as:

Ranking Functions:
  -- BM25, Pivoted Length Normalization for Vector Space Model (IDF, TF transformation, doc length normaliation)
  -- JM and Dirichlet Prior Smoothing for Language model based query likelihood
  -- PageRank and HITS from Link Analysis

Feedback Functions:
  -- Rochhio algorithm with implicit feedback for VSM
  -- KL divergence model for LM

Inverted Indexing and Map-reduce

Web-crawler:
  -- breadth-first search, parallel, focused search
