6. What is an Algorithm? An algorithm is a well-defined computational procedure that takes some value or set of values, as input and produce some value or set of values as output. A “tool” for solving a well-specified computational problem

7. Sorting Problem Input: A sequence of numbers (a1, a2,...) Output: A reording (a’1, a’2,...) of the input such that a’1  a’2 ...

12. Latent Semantic Index Project: Compute the LSI (Latent Semantic Index) of a set of web pages/text files, such as Google’s return. Sort a web page or a text file (XML or Text) in alphabetical order

13. Latent Semantic Index 1.Sort a web page or a text file (XML or Text) 2. Create an Inverted file Attached to each words a list of locations that this word has appeared

14. Latent Semantic Index 1.Applications 2.Use LSI, we can cluster (classify) the return of Google’s search into meaningful group
