Java Code Information for CS 371R:
Information Retrieval and Web Search

For instructions on setting up the course Java code under the department Unix environment, see this short guide.
Otherwise, a jar file for the course Java code is available for installing under some other environment. The short guide also provides some comments on running it under Windows. Note that some files have hard-coded references that will need to be modified in order to get it working in another environment.
You may use Java on any platform you desire. However, the TA and I will only provide help with system problems if you use it on the departmental Linux machines. If you do not know Unix, you can see the department computing facilities FAQ file and general Unix information.
The code we will use in the class is available on the departmental file system in /u/mooney/ir-code/ir/. If you do not use departmental Linux machines, it is your own responsibility to transfer this code and make whatever changes are needed to get it to run on your system.
The HTML Javadoc documentation for this code is grouped by package and available off the course homepage.
The document data we will use in the class is available on the departmental file system in /u/mooney/ir-code/corpora/. If you do not use departmental Linux machines, it is your own responsibility to transfer this data and make whatever changes are needed to get it to run on your system.
