教學方式 Teaching approach

The course will involve lectures by instructor, student presentations, and research projects on major research topics in Web Search and Mining related research. Students are expected to read quite a few research papers and present some of them at the class. There will be a midterm and a few assignments. Students are also required to finish a course project (group work is allowed and encouraged).
