Proceedings of the Glasgow –strathclyde Information Retrieval Workshop Evaluating Interactive Information Retrieval in Simulated and Real Environment .......................... 9 (original) (raw)

Glasgow–Strathclyde Information Retrieval Workshop

The Information Retrieval Workshop was held on the 22nd of October, 2004 at the IEEE Teachers Building in St Enoch's Centre, Glasgow. The event attracted over twenty Information Retrieval Researchers from the University of Glasgow and the University of Strathclyde, comprising of Academic Staff, Research Assistants and PhD Students.

Workshop Report Seminar 09101–Interactive Information Retrieval

Abstract. There is need for more foundational research in the development of interactive information retrieval systems. The results of a week long discussion by a group of multidisciplinary researchers have reported here. A broief description of main activities and major recommendations of the workshop are reported here.

A context-driven integrated framework for research on interactive IR

This paper discusses the Integrated Research Framework for Information Seeking and Retrieval (ISR) originating from by comparing it to the Laboratory Research Framework for IR and two nested models of contexts involved in ISR: that of Kekäläinen & Järvelin (2002), based on work task activities, and the model by Ingwersen focusing on contexts to information objects. In addition the relevance model by Cosijn , also of nested nature, is discussed, leading forward to the nine dimensions of research variables, potentially influencing ISR processes and evaluation.

Process and outcome: On the evaluation of IR systems in the age of interaction, GUIs and multimedia

The question I want to address in this talk has to do with the relation between traditional ideas of retrieval system evaluation and the present concern with highly interactive systems, maybe involving other media as well as or instead of text. For reasons that I hope to make clear, my major concern is with interaction rather than with the media themselves. Particularly, I want to consider the questions: Why has the notion of relevance been such a powerful device in the traditional model of evaluation? And: Why is it not so useful in the evaluation of interactive systems?
