INFORMATION RETRIEVAL AND RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS Laboratory – Experimentation Reporting Georgios Peikos [email protected] Building U14, DISCo University of Milan-Bicocca Viale Sarca 336, 20126 Milan Designing an experiment Experiment 1. An experiment is a scientific procedure undertaken to make a discovery, test a hypothesis, or demonstrate a known fact. ◦ Clearly define the research question or hypothesis that you want to address through your experiment. ◦ Develop a robust experimental design that answers these hypothesis ◦ Collect the data ◦ Compare your findings with previous Reporting Research Overall Structure 1.
