Lecturenotes
Lab
The lab will be conducted as a series of exercises to give a hands-on experience for the concepts taught in the lecture. Each lecture block will be accompanied by a Jupyter notebook, which implements a component of a basic search engine.
Exercises will be published here every two weeks, with the solution following one week later. We will not collect & grade your exercise solutions, and participation in lab is not a prerequisite to the exam.
