The complexity in designing, running and analysing a user study is substantially more time consuming and challenging than a simple comparison of empirical measures such as precision and recall. As a result many researchers shy away from the user studies. However, it is only with real user studies that the impact of state of the art research can be truly assessed and the merit of such research validated. As to how a user study should be performed in the context of information access, remains a challenge and those researchers wishing to perform such a study a re faced with many issues to ensure that the research is carried out in an appropriate and unbiased manner. | |

| IWRIDL06 | International Workshop On Research Issues in Digital Libraries
The number of Digital Library initiatives worldwide has been
increasing in recent times. The problem of organizing and accessing
information from these digital libraries has given rise to research
issues like indexing and retrieval, multilingual and multimedia
information processing, natural language processing and many others.
This workshop is intended to give participants a better understanding
of these issues, along with an awareness of state-of-the-art tools and
technologies involved in digital libraries, through invited lectures
by internationally renowned researchers, practitioners, and
developers. Interested participants from academia, government and
industry are invited to attend the workshop to exchange views and to
help formulate future directions of research in this exciting area.
The workshop will address the following sub-areas:
Indexing/Retrieval
Multilingual Information Access
Natural Language Processing
Document Analysis and Processing
IR/DL Tools
Standardization Issues (Archiving, Annotation, Metadata)
We are delighted to have among us as
Contributors :

| ECIR 2007 | The 29th European Conference on Information Retrieval. | |
| TLIR'07 | First Int. Workshop on Teaching and Learning of IR.
It is very important that both undergraduate and postgraduate students understand the basis of IR discipline, not just with the aim of conducting research in the future, but also as a way of learning how search engines work, which are essential tools to use for their own benefit on a daily basis. One way to improve the profile of the subject is to create a common space where IR lecturers and researchers can share their experiences and opinions in the field of IR teaching at any of the educational levels (primary, secondary and tertiary). The aim of the workshop is to provide this common space.

| ICTIR 2007 | Location: Budapest, Hungary
Date: 18-20 October, 2007
Purpose
It is commonly agreed that the term 'information retrieval' (IR) refers to fetching information relevant to users' information needs from recorded -- using primarily, albeit not exclusively, (generally networked) computer systems -- information. As such, IR -- building firmly on its library science roots -- has by now proved to stretch beyond information and computer sciences, reaching mathematics and linguistics, tackling and challenging new areas like physics, philosophy, sociology, or biology.
It is the broad goal of the 1st ICTIR 2007 to be the forum that reflects just this new, multi-valued meaning of IR in terms of new and original results.
The purpose of ICTIR'07 is to present, discuss, analyze and integrate new theoretical results in IR, including the traditional and already well-established fields and approaches in IR, but also welcoming new approaches coming from, e.g., physics, linguistics, biology, philosphy, and other areas. Experimental or practical results from new paradigms will be considered as well.

| INEX 2007 | Evaluating the effectiveness of XML retrieval systems requires
a test collection where the relevance assessments are provided
according to a relevance criterion, which takes into account the
imposed structural aspects. In 2002, the Initiative for the Evaluation
of XML Retrieval (INEX) started to address these issues. The aim of
the INEX initiative is to establish an infrastructure and provide
means, in the form of a large XML test collection and appropriate
scoring methods, for the evaluation of content-oriented XML retrieval
systems.
Evaluating retrieval effectiveness is typically done by using test
collections assembled specifically for evaluating particular retrieval
tasks. A test collection as such has been built as a result of many
rounds of INEX (annually since 2002).
In INEX 2007, participating organizations will be able to compare the
retrieval effectiveness of their XML retrieval systems and will
contribute to the construction of a new XML test collection based on
the Wikipedia. The test collection will also provide participants a
means for future comparative and quantitative experiments. | |
