'Cross-lingual expert search - bridging cross-language information retrieval and social media', Trento, Italy
20 September 2010 - 20 September 2010
Italy
A workshop on 'Cross-lingual expert search - bridging cross-language information retrieval and social media' will be held in Trento, Italy from 20 to 23 September 2010.
The event will look at the challenge of multilingual expert search in social media environments. Cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) is a subfield of information retrieval in which a query may be in one language and relevant documents returned by a search are in other languages.
Online communities generate major economic value and form pivotal parts of corporate expertise management, marketing, product support, customer relationship management, product innovation and advertising. These same communities may also be multilingual by their very nature. Novel solutions are required to deal with both the complexity of large-scale social networks and the complexity of multi-lingual user behaviour. At the same time, it becomes more and more important to efficiently identify and connect the right experts for a given task across locations, organisational units and languages.
Main event topics include multilingual expert retrieval methods, social media analysis with respect to expert search, selection of datasets and evaluation of expert search results. There will also be a pilot challenge to help identify problems ranging from intellectual property right issues to result assessment.For further information, please visit:
