'Diversity in document retrieval', Dublin, Ireland
18 April 2011 - 18 April 2011
Ireland
A workshop entitled 'Diversity in document retrieval' will take place on 18 April 2011 in Dublin, Ireland.
When an ambiguous query is made by a user, a sensible approach is for the information retrieval system to send back a diverse range of results. This is done in the hope that at least one of the interpretations of the query intent will satisfy the user.
As diversity is, in general, an emerging topic, there is no overall consensus which has been set on the various aspects of the field. The primary aim of this workshop will be to foster an interactive, in-depth environment, with discussions centering on four themes:
- modeling ('What are the key components of diversification models?');
- evaluation ('How can a better evaluation experiment for diversification be structured?');
- applications ('What are the key applications for diversity in commercial search?');
- presentation ('How should diverse results be presented?').
The event will take place at the same time as the 33rd European Conference on Information Retrieval.For further information, please visit: http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/workshops/ddr2011/(opens in new window)
