Re: Summary of AI and Machine Learning applications in Information Retrieva

Hi Netters,

Earlier I've posted a request seeking information about AI techniques
and Machine Lerning applications in Information Retrieval. Based on
the responses received and the information I'd with me, I've prepared
a list of conference proceedings and publications.

There had been many requests to summarize the info. Here it goes.  The
following list is far from being exhaustive. Any additions may be
mailed to me or posted here.

SIGIR 89 has tutorials on related topics and one may look forward to
the conference proceedings.

Thanks,
Krishna

Note : RIAO 88 conference is about "USER-ORIENTED CONTENT-BASED TEXT
AND IMAGE HANDLING" held at MIT from March 21-24 i988.

Re: Abstract on SuperBook

Tom Landauer thought it might be useful to put the following
abstract on IRList. It concerns studies of SuperBook,
and there have been references made to the studies in previous
IRlist releases. The paper will appear in a special issue
of ACM Transactions On Office Information Systems (TOOIS).

Formative Design-Evaluation of "SuperBook"

Dennis E. Egan, Joel R. Remde, Louis M. Gomez,
Thomas K. Landauer, Jennifer Eberhardt, and Carol C. Lochbaum
Bellcore

Abstract

This paper presents behavioral studies evaluating successive
versions of SuperBook, a hypertext browsing system designed to
improve the usability of documents (see Remde, Gomez, and
Landauer, 1987). Students searched for information in a
statistics text presented either in conventional printed form or
in SuperBook form. The better version of SuperBook enabled
students to answer search questions more accurately than they
could with the conventional text. Students produced higher
quality "open-book" essays using SuperBook than they did with the
conventional text. Subjective ratings of the documentation also
strongly favored SuperBook.

The paper serves as a case study of "formative design-
evaluation." Behavioral evaluation of the first version of
SuperBook showed how design factors and user strategies affected
search performance, and established baseline performance possible
with printed text. On the basis of that study, the second
version of SuperBook was implemented. Behavioral evaluation of
the second version demonstrated its superiority to printed text
and suggested additional enhancements that might further improve
performance.
