• Describe what you did.
This week we went a little bit more into the actual process of constructing an inverted index and how to implement the handling of misspellings, the accuracy of retrievals based on context, and the structures of resulting indexes for the purpose of searching them. For the discussion assignment, I needed to cover the differences between BSBI and SPIMI. For our programming assignment, we needed to make some alterations to a SPIMI python program to create an index and list of documents.
• Describe your reactions to what you did.
I found everything that we covered this week very interesting. While I appreciated the differences between a BSBI and SPIMI, I’m a little confused as to why you would use a BSBI except in situations where there are some very specific hardware

I am feeling pretty good about the class still. A lot of the techniques we are learning about for efficient, accurate, and helpful searching of a corpus I find very interesting. I need to take some more time to review the indexer Python code we were supplied so I feel completely comfortable with how it is achieving the indexing.
• Describe what you learned.
Particularly the handling of misspelled search terms or wildcard items was the thing that I feel like I really took away from this week. Certainly, the index creation techniques were learned but I think that to really strongly grasp those I just need to get more hands-on experience with their implementation. The things I learned about for managing search terms I feel like I could, at least conceptually, immediately apply.
• What surprised me or caused me to wonder?
I found the technique of the permuterm indexing especially of note. While it seems like it results in a massive index it was interesting to think of how that could be applied along with other ideas to mitigate human imperfections for searches.
• What happened that felt particularly challenging? Why was it challenging to
Stress, we all have it in our lives and for some of us it affects us in ways we do not even realise it. This causes me great discomfort as this leads me to not even have the ability to begin my tasks as I am concerned about how I will be able to complete it on time. Once I am able to resolve this predicament I will be confident enough about accomplishing all my tasks and concluding these tasks to my best effort.
There are two legal terms “search” and “seizure”. The legal term search means to examine another's premises to look for evidence of criminal activity. Under the 4th and 14th Amendments it is unconstitutional for law enforcement officers to conduct a search without a "search warrant" issued by a judge or without facts which give the officer "probable cause" to believe evidence of a specific crime is on the premises if there is not enough time to obtain a search warrant. The legal term seizure means the taking by law enforcement officers of potential evidence in a criminal case. The constitutional limitations on seizure are the same as for search. Thus, evidence
1. In order for the education system to change and be multiracial there are different sections where you need to work from. Starting from the curriculum structure subjects such as science and math should recognize inventors who created science and math theories. When it comes to english and history; english should allow teachers to pick their authors and subjects that they think their students will be able to enjoy while learning the standards needed for that grade. “…Educators must have knowledge of children’s live outside of school so as to recognize their strengths” (Delpit, 242). As a minority my self having teachers who gave us the options to read books where we could relate to the characters and story lines it was easier for us to actually
1. Weather is the current state of the atmosphere. Climate is the long-term weather conditions for an area or region. Some examples of weather will be tornadoes, hurricanes and flooding. When it comes to climate common examples will be tropical, polar, marine, and Mediterranean. The difference between weather and climate is that climate is a long-term weather. We can say that climate is like the “official” weather of the region or country. For example, in Dominican Republic, our climate is tropical. On the other hand, weather is the current situation on the region or country.
Matthew is a conscientious, hard-working student. He has been very dedicated this year to learning each topic in the course especially programming. This level of commitment will no doubt give great dividends in the future. He is very good at meeting deadlines, and he always does his work to a high standard. All he needs now to gain endorsement in this subject is complete the externally marked Computer Science report to a high standard.
I have a long list of scholarships that I have decided to apply for. The scholarships focus on my likes and I chose the ones that I knew would be the most achievable. The deadlines for all the scholarships are close together so it gives me a heads up that I am going to need to start them before senior year has began. The scholarships are: Earth Day Award which is for $500 and the deadline is 2/29/16, Protect the Elephants which is for $3,000 and the deadline is 3/31/16, National WWII which is for $1,000 and the deadline is is TBD, Joe Foss Institute which is $5,000 and the deadline is TBD, B’nai B’rith International which is for $5,000 and the deadline is 3/25/16, “No Essay” Scholarship which is for $2,000 and the deadline is 3/31/16,
Unlike the others who are locked in a marathon of emotion. Bobby, the high school playboy with the Brad Pitt looks and the Casanova charm remains calm. He is waiting in the car with Maureen the Ann Frances replica, and last of an endangered species. This only means, that she has not allowed any guy to get to the plate, let alone to first base. However, despite her stellar reputation the two of them seem to be spending their time just fine, wanting the others to leave so they can be alone.
Laura Wallen. My teacher and class sponsor Ms.Wallen was killed during the first week of my senior year. If I had one more chance to talk to her I would be ecstatic. I would want to talk to her because she was one of the first teachers I met in high school. Having Ms.Wallen as a teacher who was always here supporting me was a great feeling. Every Time I saw Ms.Wallen she was smiling. During our homecoming week we would have to design a hallway and even with little to no supplies and only a few class council member, she would make it feel like we were winners. I would want to talk about college applications and all of the senior year events we were planning together. I would want to tell her that I love her and that her support from the beginning
At first I did not not feel very confident when trying to answer this question because I could not remember the method involved when converting scale. I was able to interpret the question and I understood what it required; however, I could not recall the process involved in reaching the answer. After trying a few different methods and giving it some thought, I remembered what to do. I had learnt how to answer these questions in high school geography and I still had the knowledge, but I just had to go through the process of recalling it. So, the method I used to solve the problem was to write out the scale used in the diagram as a ratio, simplify it and then convert it to a written statement. Thus, I was unsure about how to answer this question
When I first ran the coding, the program was not working. Using the debugger, I found out that the program was not reading the file. By looking into the variables, I noticed that the some data were missing. The following is the list of my correction to fix the coding.
Stu, I do not believe that a high substrate (PTFE fabric 7069) will impact the users of our premium “P” tape product, it may even enhance the life span. Airtech would be the only one I would question, but would probably risk a small order first before fulfilling any large quantity order for them, unless we have an Airtech spec in place for this item that would hinder the use of 6this item. Have we compared prior runs of this item sold to Airtech? Just my thoughts. Or release it for Taconic Canada, Can-Do, Nott Company, and Tapes and Technical only.
4. What search method did you use (Terms and Connectors, Natural Language, and / or Easy Search)? I used natural
Using all of the key concepts you identified in Step 2, Part A and some of the keywords (alternative/related terms) you identified in Step 2, Part B, create a search statement that effectively uses Boolean operators and advanced searching techniques (nesting, truncation, phrase searching).
SKILLS IN THIS DATABASE: I was pleased to notice that my e-searching library skills were improving rather fast. I began to notice that the level of frustration I had up to this point was fading. At this point I am able to perform basic searches with a considerable amount of success.
