Olivet University's Institute of Technology, OIT, graduate students are teaming up with OIT alumni to build out a search engine for enhanced functionality and produce improved search results.  The solution involves looking at its current method of data sharing networks and tweaks the data gathering and search process to generate more relevant results. 

Olivet Institute of Technology students investigate into controlling the depth of crawling with robots.txt rules.  Other parts include parsing the content according to keywords and creating indexes with greater relevance to content as well as optimizing the index for faster search results.  Parts of the development and research will be happening during the Information Storage and Retrieval course this fall quarter.

The technique of search engine is a small piece of cloud of the search engine of Christian world. "It can contribute to web evangelism and influence the global culture in near future." Shared the developer of this search engine.

- Track Description: Artificial Intelligence includes the study of foundational material on topics such as logic, probability, statistics, language, and their relationship to several applications. Through the AI concentration, students can implement the core engine of the software system used by Christian organizations and churches, such as knowledge representation, logical reasoning, robotics, machine learning, probabilistic modeling and inference, natural language processing, cognition, speech recognition and synthesis, computer vision. - Course List: -- Core Coursesce Linear Algebra Calulus Mathematical Foundations of Computing Introduction to Probability for Computer Scientists Data Structures Design and Analysis of Algorithms Artificial Intelligence: Principles and Techniques -- Sub Track 1: Natural Language Processing Introduction to Natural Language Processing Information Storage and Retrieval -- Sub Track 2: Computer Vision Digital Image Processing Fundamentals of Computer Vision
