Project

The project was presented in the first lecture.
Update:
1) The Wikipedia version to be used should be the dump of September 1, 2018. The correct(ed) link can be found here.
2) For the indexing task, only (!) the most recent version of a Wikipedia page should be used. Multiple copies (e.g. from previous revisions) should therefore be discarded.
3) The analytics task only (!) concerns "plain" entity pages. To this end, "meta-pages" such as redirects, categories or similar should be filtered out, too.

Written Exam

The exam takes places on:
Monday, December 10
14.15h-16.15h
in room S1 224.
