タスク参加募集 NTCIR-11 IMineタスク（2014.1.20締切）
by Takehiro Yamamoto 08 Jan '14

08 Jan '14

日本データベース学会の皆様、（重複して受け取られた場合にはご容赦ください）京都大学の山本岳洋と申します。 NTCIR-11 検索意図とタスクマイニングタスク（IMine）の参加案内をお送りいたします。特に、Subtopic Miningサブタスク、今年から始めた、 Task Miningサブタスク（TaskMine）は、日本語でのタスクを設けていますので、ぜひ参加をご検討ください。 http://ntcir.nii.ac.jp/NTCIR11Regist/ ################################################### タスク参加募集 NTCIR-11 検索意図とタスクマイニングタスク（IMine）: 　IMineホームページ: 　http://www.thuir.org/IMine/ 　TaskMineホームページ: 　http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ntcir-11/taskmine/ 　NTCIR-11 の参加登録締切: 2014年1月20日(月) ################################################### === 概要 === IMine（検索意図とタスクマイニング）タスクは、NTCIR-11のコアタスク１つです。IMineタスクの目的は、ウェブ検索ユーザの入力したクエリから、その背後にある多様な検索意図を発見し、異なる検索意図を持ったユーザを満足させる方法、およびその適切な評価手法を確立することです。IMineはNTCIR-9およびNTCIR-10にて実施されたINTENT、 INTENT-2タスクがその前身となっており、情報検索分野で現在も活発に研究が行われている、検索意図推定、検索結果多様化に関する国内唯一の評価型ワークショップです。 === タスク === IMineタスクでは、下記の3つのサブタスクを設けております。どの言語のどのサブタスクでも自由に参加いただけます。（１）Subtopic Miningサブタスク（日、中、英） Subtopic Miningサブタスクは、与えられたクエリに対し、考えられる意図を文字列で表現したもの（サブトピック）を重要度でランクづけして出力するタスクです。たとえば、「ハリーポッター」というクエリに対し、「ハリーポッター本」、「ハリーポッター　映画」、「ハリーポッター主人公」といったサブトピックが出力として考えられます。今回新しく取り組む試みとして、これまで，システムはサブトピックを一次元のリストとして出力することが求められていたのに対して、今回は2次元の階層的なリストを出力することが求められます。（２）Document Rankingサブタスク（中、英） Document Rankingサブタスクは、与えられたクエリに対して、多様化されたランキングを出力するタスクです。システムは、全てのクエリに対して画一的な多様化を行うのではなく、クエリの種類に応じて多様化をする、しないといった戦略を変更することが求められます。本サブタスクは中国語および英語によるタスクが設けられており、それぞれSogouT、ClueWeb12-B13コーパスから得られた文書がデータセットとして配布されます。（３）Task Miningサブタスク（日） Task Miningサブタスク（TaskMine）は、今回親切されたサブタスクです。TaskMineタスクでは、与えられたクエリに対し、クエリの背後にある目的を達成するために必要な行動（タスク）を、 Webから発見し文字列として出力するタスクです。たとえば、「花粉症対策」というクエリに対し、「減感作療法を受ける」、「レーザ治療を受ける」、「マスクをつける」、「アレロック錠剤を摂取する」、といった出力が考えられます。本サブタスクの目的は、これまでの情報検索が、主にクエリのトピックやサブトピックといった考え方に基づき、ユーザの情報要求を満足させることを考えていたのとは対照的に、「タスク」レベルでの情報アクセス技術の実現やその評価方法を議論するための場を作ることです。本サブタスクへの参加をご検討される方は、下記をご覧下さい。 http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ntcir-11/taskmine/ また、参加をご検討される方は、過去のINTENT-2タスクのページも参照ください。 http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/tesakai/intent2.aspx === 日程 === 2013年 1月20日 : 参加登録締切 2014年 3月　 : テストクエリ公開 2014年 4月　 : 結果提出締切 2014年 8月　 : 評価結果公開 2014年 9月 1日: 論文ドラフト締切 2014年11月 1日: カメラレディ締切 2014年12月 9-12日: NTCIR-11 @ NII === 参加方法 === 下記のページからタスクへの参加登録ができます： http://ntcir.nii.ac.jp/NTCIR11Regist/ また、タスク参加者は 1) NTCIR-11ワークショップへ査読なしの論文投稿、および 2) NTCIR-11ワークショップ（(014年12月開催)への参加が求められますので留意ください。 === 運営者 === Yiqun Liu, Tsinghua University Ruihua Song, MSRA Min Zhang, Tsinghua University Zhicheng Dou, MSRA 山本岳洋 (京都大学) 加藤誠 (京都大学) 大島裕明 (京都大学) Ke Zhou, University of Edinburgh === 問い合わせ先 === ntcir.imine(a)gmail.com （日英を問わず、お気軽にお問い合わせください。） === リンク === IMineホームページ: http://www.thuir.org/IMine/ TaskMineホームページ: http://www.dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ntcir-11/taskmine/ NTCIR-11: http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/ntcir-11/index.html NTCIRオンライン論文集: http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/publication1-en.html -- Takehiro Yamamoto, Program-Specific Assistant Professor Department of Social Informatics, Graduate School of Informatics, Kyoto University Email: tyamamot(a)dl.kuis.kyoto-u.ac.jp Tel: 075-753-5395 http://rerank-lab.org/

日本データーベース学会の皆様（重複して受け取られた際には，何卒ご容赦ください．）あけましておめでとうございます．楽天の平手でございます．以前ご案内させていただきました第113回IFAT研究会ですが，申込締切の一週間前となりましたので，再度ご案内させていただきます．申込締切：2014年1月13日(月）論文締切：2014年1月16日(木) 皆様からの投稿を，心よりお待ちしております． ☆..☆..第113回情報基礎とアクセス技術研究会開催のご案内と論文募集..☆..☆ 日程：2014年2月7日（金）会場：キャンパスプラザ京都第1会議室 (2F) 住所：〒600-8216 京都市下京区西洞院通塩小路下る地図：http://www.consortium.or.jp/contents_detail.php?frmId=585 テーマ「ドメインに特化した情報アクセス技術～特定の地域や特定の分野を支援する情報アクセス技術および一般～」ブログやツイッターなどに代表されるビッグデータは近年，多様化，複雑化の一途を辿っています．これらは，ドメインを限定しない「サービスの素材」としては有望ですが，データを効果的に活用するためには，ドメインや利用目的を意識した観点が不可欠です．他方，医療，観光，不動産，登山，特許などの特定の地域，分野に特化した情報サービスが広がっており，さらに技術を高度化するには領域固有のノウハウを取り入れることが不可避です．ドメイン専従型情報アクセスは，その重要性が再認識されるなか，一般性を持たないものとしてこれまで研究コミュニティでは軽視される傾向にありました．このような状況を踏まえ，第113回情報処理学会情報基礎とアクセス技術研究会(IFAT)では，ドメインに特化した情報アクセスを対象とした管理・情報検索・知識獲得の理論・応用に関する研究論文を広く募集致します．またこれらのテーマに限らず，本研究会が取り扱う研究領域に関する研究論文を歓迎します．今回は特に電子情報通信学会の言語理解とコミュニケーション研究会の第4回テキストマイニング・シンポジウムと連続開催致します．みなさま，奮ってご投稿ください． ..*・゜..*・゜..*・゜..*・゜..*・゜..*・゜..*・゜....*・゜..*・゜. ◆論文の申込，投稿申込締切：2014年1月13日(月）論文締切：2014年1月16日(木) 原稿ページ数制限予定： 6?8ページ発表時間予定： 1件30分 (質疑応答を含みます．多少変わることもあります．) 申込，投稿サイト: https://ipsj1.i-product.biz/ipsjsig/IFAT ◆照会先荒牧英治（京都大学） E-mail: eiji.aramaki(a)gmail.com 野本忠司（国文学研究資料館） E-mail: nomoto(a)acm.org 研究会ウェブ：http://ipsj-ifat.org/cfp/20140207/cfp.html ◆発表申込みに関する補足受け付けは先着順で行なっております．締切間際になりますと，申し込み件数によりましては次回の研究会にまわって頂くようお願いする場合がございます．申し込みを予定しておられます方はなるべく早めにお申し込み下さい．締切り後の発表キャンセルは原則としてできません．発表申し込み後にキャンセルの必要が生じた場合にはなるべく早くご連絡ください．発表申込後，学会が提示する原稿提出締め切りまでに原稿が到着しない場合には，学会の判断により発表を取り消しさせていただくこともあります．論文提出締切後の原稿差し替えはできません． --- --------------------------------------------------------- 　Yu Hirate, Dr. Eng.
