Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce some common ways that search systems can be evaluated for result quality in a research setting, and discuss how these approaches can easily apply to an industrial setting. Topics will include explicit judgements of individual document quality, A/B in-situ system evaluation, and effective use of implicit metrics such as click data.

speaker: Assoc. Prof. Jenny Zhang

Title: Sentiment Analysis on Social Media data

Talk 3:
