Frontiers of Information Access Experimentation for Research and Education (Dagstuhl Seminar 23031)

Authors: Christine Bauer, Ben Carterette, Nicola Ferro, Norbert Fuhr, and Guglielmo Faggioli

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 13, Issue 1 (2023)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 23031 "Frontiers of Information Access Experimentation for Research and Education", which brought together 37 participants from 12 countries. The seminar addressed technology-enhanced information access (information retrieval, recommender systems, natural language processing) and specifically focused on developing more responsible experimental practices leading to more valid results, both for research as well as for scientific education. The seminar brought together experts from various sub-fields of information access, namely Information Retrieval (IR), Recommender Systems (RS), Natural Language Processing (NLP), information science, and human-computer interaction to create a joint understanding of the problems and challenges presented by next generation information access systems, from both the research and the experimentation point of views, to discuss existing solutions and impediments, and to propose next steps to be pursued in the area in order to improve not also our research methods and findings but also the education of the new generation of researchers and developers. The seminar featured a series of long and short talks delivered by participants, who helped in setting a common ground and in letting emerge topics of interest to be explored as the main output of the seminar. This led to the definition of five groups which investigated challenges, opportunities, and next steps in the following areas: reality check, i.e. conducting real-world studies, human–machine-collaborative relevance judgment frameworks, overcoming methodological challenges in information retrieval and recommender systems through awareness and education, results-blind reviewing, and guidance for authors.

Abstract
We describe the state-of-the-art in performance modeling and prediction for Information Retrieval (IR), Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Recommender Systems (RecSys) along with its shortcomings and strengths. We present a framework for further research, identifying five major problem areas: understanding measures, performance analysis, making underlying assumptions explicit, identifying application features determining performance, and the development of prediction models describing the relationship between assumptions, features and resulting performance.

User-Generated Content in Social Media (Dagstuhl Seminar 17301)

Authors: Tat-Seng Chua, Norbert Fuhr, Gregory Grefenstette, Kalervo Järvelin, and Jaakko Paltonen

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 7, Issue 7 (2018)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 17301 "User-Generated Content in Social Media". Social media have a profound impact on individuals, businesses, and society. As users post vast amounts of text and multimedia content every minute, the analysis of this user generated content (UGC) can offer insights to individual and societal concerns and could be beneficial to a wide range of applications. In this seminar, we brought together researchers from different subfields of computer science, such as information retrieval, multimedia, natural language processing, machine learning and social media analytics. We discussed the specific properties of UGC, the general research tasks currently operating on this type of content, identifying their limitations, and imagining new types of applications. We formed two working groups, WG1 "Fake News and Credibility", WG2 "Summarizing and Story Telling from UGC". WG1 invented an "Information Nutrition Label" that characterizes a document by different features such as e.g. emotion, opinion, controversy, and topicality; For computing these feature values, available methods and open research issues were identified. WG2 developed a framework for summarizing heterogeneous, multilingual and multimodal data, discussed key challenges and applications of this framework.

Reproducibility of Data-Oriented Experiments in e-Science (Dagstuhl Seminar 16041)

Authors: Juliana Freire, Norbert Fuhr, and Andreas Rauber

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 6, Issue 1 (2016)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 16041 "Reproducibility of Data-Oriented Experiments in e-Science". In many subfields of computer science, experiments play an important role. Besides theoretic properties of algorithms or methods, their effectiveness and performance often can only be validated via experimentation. In most of these cases, the experimental results depend on the input data, settings for input parameters, and potentially on characteristics of the computational environment where the experiments were designed and run. Unfortunately, most computational experiments are specified only informally in papers, where experimental results are briefly described in figure captions; the code that produced the results is seldom available. This has serious implications. Scientific discoveries do not happen in isolation. Important advances are often the result of sequences of smaller, less significant steps. In the absence of results that are fully documented, reproducible, and generalizable, it becomes hard to re-use and extend these results. Besides hindering the ability of others to leverage our work, and consequently limiting the impact of our field, the absence of reproducibility experiments also puts our reputation at stake, since reliability and validity of empiric results are basic scientific principles. This seminar brought together experts from various sub-fields of computer science to create a joint understanding of the problems of reproducibility of experiments, discussing existing solutions and impediments, and proposing ways to overcome current limitations.

Evaluation Methodologies in Information Retrieval (Dagstuhl Seminar 13441)

Authors: Maristella Agosti, Norbert Fuhr, Elaine Toms, and Pertti Vakkari

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 3, Issue 10 (2014)

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcome of Dagstuhl Seminar 13441 "Evaluation Methodologies in Information Retrieval", which brought together 42 participants from 11 countries. The seminar was motivated by the fact that today's information retrieval (IR) applications can hardly be evaluated based on the classic test collection paradigm, thus there is a need for new evaluation approaches. The event started with five introductory talks on evaluation frameworks, user modeling for evaluation, evaluation criteria, measures, evaluation methodology, and new trends in IR evaluation. The seminar participants then formed working groups addressing specific aspects of IR evaluation, such as reliability and validity, task-based IR, learning as search outcome, searching for fun, IR and social media, graph search, domain-specific IR, interaction measures and models, and searcher-aware information access systems.

Challenges in Document Mining (Dagstuhl Seminar 11171)

Authors: Hamish Cunningham, Norbert Fuhr, and Benno M. Stein

Published in: Dagstuhl Reports, Volume 1, Issue 4 (2011)

Abstract
This report documents the programme and outcomes of the Dagstuhl Seminar 11171 "Challenges in Document Mining". Our starting point was the observation that document mining techniques are often applied in an isolated manner, with the consequence that their potential is still to be fully realised. The goal of the seminar was to analyze this untapped potential. To this end researchers from the main areas of document mining were invited to present their views, to synthesise an understanding of where and how the latest disciplinary achievements can be combined, and to develop a more integrative view on the state of the art and the prospects for future progress.

Context Aware Browser

Authors: Stefano Mizzaro, Paolo Coppola, Vincenzo Della Mea, Luca Di Gaspero, Danny Mischis, Elena Nazzi, Ivan Scagnetto, and Luca Vassena

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 9101, Interactive Information Retrieval (2009)

Abstract
I will present the Context Aware Browser, a novel paradigm for context-aware access to Web contents with mobile devices. The idea is to allow automatic download of Web pages, and even automatic execution of Web applications, on user's own mobile device. The Web resources are not simply pushed on the mobile device; rather, they are selected on the basis of the context the user is in: context data (mainly location, but not only) are used to build a query sent to an external search engine, that selects the most relevant Web content. I will describe the idea, provide some examples, show a video of a recently built prototype, present implementation issues, discuss our specific evaluation methodology and the results, and sketch future work and problems. This is an ongoing project, started about five years ago; it is joint work with the Context Aware and Mobile Systems laboratory (smdc.uniud.it) and the MoBe spinoff (www.mobe.it) at Udine University.

Authors: Andreas Hauser, Markus Heller, Elisabeth Leiss, Klaus U. Schulz, and Christiane Wanzeck

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6491, Digital Historical Corpora- Architecture, Annotation, and Retrieval (2007)

Abstract
With the new interest in historical documents insight grew that electronic access to these texts causes many specific problems. In the first part of the paper we survey the present role of digital historical documents. After collecting central facts and observations on historical language change we comment on the difficulties that result for retrieval and data mining on historical texts. In the second part of the paper we report on our own work in the area with a focus on special matching strategies that help to relate modern language keywords with old variants. The basis of our studies is a collection of documents from the Early New High German period. These texts come with a very rich spectrum on word variants and spelling variations.

A Cross-Language Approach to Historic Document Retrieval

Authors: Jaap Kamps, Marijn Koolen, Frans Adriaans, and Maarten de Rijke

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6491, Digital Historical Corpora- Architecture, Annotation, and Retrieval (2007)

Abstract
Our cultural heritage, as preserved in libraries, archives and museums, is made up of documents written many centuries ago. Large-scale digitization initiatives, like DigiCULT, make these documents available to non-expert users through digital libraries and vertical search engines. For a user, querying a historic document collection may be a disappointing experience. Natural languages evolve over time, changing in pronunciation and spelling, and new words are introduced continuously, while older words may disappear out of everyday use. For these reasons, queries involving modern words may not be very effective for retrieving documents that contain many historic terms. Although reading a 300-year-old document might not be problematic because the words are still recognizable, the changes in vocabulary and spelling can make it difficult to use a search engine to find relevant documents. To illustrate this, consider the following example from our collection of 17th century Dutch law texts. Looking for information on the tasks of a lawyer (modern Dutch: {it advocaat}) in these texts, the modern spelling will not lead you to documents containing the 17th century Dutch spelling variant {it advocaet}. Since spelling rules were not introduced until the 19th century, 17th century Dutch spelling is inconsistent. Being based mainly on pronunciation, words were often spelled in several different variants, which poses a problem for standard retrieval engines. We therefore define Historic Document Retrieval (HDR) as the retrieval of relevant historic documents for a modern query. Our approach to this problem is to treat the historic and modern languages as different languages, and use cross-language information retrieval (CLIR) techniques to translate one language into the other.
