Search Engine Technologies (MSc)

Project

The MSc programme culminates in a development project, in which you will design, implement, evaluate, and demonstrate a software system in the area of information retrieval systems. The project will integrate subject knowledge and generic skills that you acquire during the MSc programme.

We offer a range of projects, and each student is normally allocated a different project. We take your preferences into account when we allocate the projects.

You will also have the opportunity to propose your own project, subject to academic approval.

Examples

Here are some typical project titles from recent years:

• Adaptive retrieval for RSS feeds
• Assigning papers to reviewers based on their expertise
• Developing an interactive query refinement interface for search engine
• Independent comparison of information retrieval models
• Investigating depth of mediation for recommendations to groups
• K-space online document management system
