Interaction: Beyond retrieval

Beyond Content-Based Retrieval: Modeling Domains, Users and Interaction

Most research in information retrieval has focused on the problem of matching user queries to stored document representations. In this talk, I will take a step back from the core matching algorithms and look at other sources of information that can fruitfully be brought to bear to improve information access in a variety of applications. Important sources include: a) information about the world ...

Information Extraction: Beyond Document Retrieval

In this paper we give a synoptic view of the growth text processing technology of information extraction (IE) whose function is to extract information about a pre-specified set of entities, relations or events from natural language textsand to record this information in structured representations called templates. Here we describe the nature of the IE task, review the history of the area from i...
