Working on the Cloud for the Text Information Retrieval Section

The Text Information Retrieval section involves installing and managing multiple dependencies if you choose to work locally. For those who prefer a cloud-based approach for this section, Colab-adapted scripts are available. You can access them here. To use these scripts, download the folder, unzip it, and upload it to your Google Drive. Alternatively, if you decide to work locally, follow the instructions provided in the notebooks for session 3 and session 4.
