講演会：Evaluation Design for Retrieval of Conversations, JULY 10 13:00-14:30, Room2208
by Noriko Kando 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

(重複して受け取られた場合はご容赦下さい) 日本データベース学会の皆様：国立情報学研究所の神門典子と申します。開催日が近づきましたので、改めて、Evaluation Design for Retrieval of Conversationsについての講演会について、ご案内申し上げます。みなさまのご参加をお待ちしております。また、周囲のご関心のある方々やメーリングリストなどに、適宜、ご紹介や転送をしていただければ、幸いです。よろしくお願いいたします神門典子 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Evaluation Design for Retrieval of Conversations Speaker: Douglas W. Oard, University of Maryland, USA Date: Tuesday, July 10th, at 13:00-14:30 Place: Room 2208, 22F, NII Abstract: Current approaches to the evaluation of information retrieval systems are based on several assumptions, including: (1) documents have a beginning and an end and they contain words, and (2) if we show the user the right documents they can recognize them. These are reasonable assumptions when searching documents such as news stories, books, and patents that were written originally with dissemination as a principal goal. But what about conversations? Is a conversation one "document" or many? Where does a conversation begin? Where does it end? If we can't unambiguously identify the unit of retrieval, many current approaches to evaluation would be ruled out. Even if we could somehow answer that question, ranked retrieval evaluation measures implicitly assume that the user can recognize relevant documents. That may work well when searching your own conversations, but try searching a few recorded conversations from the Apollo program, or President Kennedy's recorded meetings during the Cuban Missile Crisis, or President Clinton's email. You may need a "reader's guide" to figure out who the people are, and the words they are using mean. If such "sensemaking" capabilities are needed, can we devise some insightful, affordable and repeatable way of evaluating them? Perhaps our greatest challenge, however, is that we often have an expectation of privacy when engaging in conversations. Where, then, can we get the large collections of conversations that we would need to build realistic test collections? If we get public conversations (e.g., political debates), we risk not modeling private conversations well. Alternatively, we could use policy measures to protect sensitive collections used in our research, much as we presently do when working with copyrighted material. We have, however, little experience protecting privacy, so we might have much to learn as a community about how to actually do this. A third alternative would be to use an "algorithm deposit" model in which we send each retrieval algorithm to a secure data center and run it there, returning only the evaluation result. We have some experience with such an approach, and thus some basis for assessing its strengths and weaknesses. In this talk, I will step through each of these issues, fleshing each out with one or more examples. My goal will not be to answer any of these questions definitively, but rather to ask each of them clearly so that we can begin to work together on finding good answers. About the Speaker: Douglas Oard is a Professor at the University of Maryland, College Park, with joint appointments in the College of Information Studies and the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies, where he is the director of the Computational Linguistics and Information Processing Lab. He is a Visiting Professor at the National Institute of Informatics, and a General Co-Chair of NTCIR-10. Dr. Oard earned his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Maryland. His research interests center around the use of emerging technologies to support end user information seeking.

07 Jul '12

==================================================================================== 2nd International Conference on Green Communications and Networking - GreeNets 2012 24th and 26th October 2012 Gandia, Spain http://greenets.org/ ==================================================================================== HIGHLIGHTS - The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation (www.eai.eu) a leading community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT - All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries - Proceedings will be submitted for indexing by Google Scholar, ISI, EI Compendex, Scopus and many more - Best papers will be selected to be included in one of the special issues that will be published in: Future Internet, Network Protocols and Algorithms, Recent Patent in Telecommunications CALL FOR PAPERS [Scope] Global warming and climate change have been a growing worldwide concern. Six sources, i.e., transportation, power, buildings, industry, agriculture and forestry, and land use, have been identified as major contributors to the rise of global carbon dioxide (CO2). The mobile industry is seen as a potential enabler to reduce greenhouse gases contributed by these six sources provided that appropriate measures are implemented. On the other hand, the mobile industry itself will also contribute to CO2 emission through network operations, mobile equipments, etc. To meet the requirement of low-carbon economy development, it is necessary to reduce the operation expenditure or energy consumption of mobile networks, while maintaining acceptable quality of service. This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of designing, building, and deploying GreeNets. In this regard, the conference aims to establish a forum to bring together research professionals from diverse f! ields including green mobile networ ks, system architectures, networking & communication protocols, applications, test-bed and prototype, traffic balance and energy-efficient cooperation transmission, system and application issues related to GreeNets. [Topics] The conference invites original technical papers that were not previously published and are not currently under review for publication elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Communications and Networking: Communication techniques and protocols for GreeNets Energy-efficient transmission technologies based on the cooperation communication Scalable and flexible energy efficiency mobile network architectures, deployments, and applications - Energy-efficient network architecture & protocols: Scalability and mobility issues in energy efficiency cross-layer design MAC Protocols and QoS Designing for mobile networks - Systems and Technology: Transactions and workflows in green mobile networks Adaptability and stability of green mobile networks Mobile and multimedia supported green mobile networks Experimental and test bed studies for energy efficiency mobile networks, simulation tools - Energy-efficient management: Energy-efficient traffic balance, cooperation and management Distributed energy efficiency resource management techniques Protocols for cooperative management and control [Publications] Accepted papers will be published in Springer's LNICST series and will appear in the SpringerLink, one of the largest digital libraries online that covers a variety of scientific disciplines, as well as in the ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL). LNICST volumes are submitted for inclusion to leading indexing services, including DBLP, Google Scholar, ACM Digital Library, ISI Proceedings, EI Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus.
