Abstract

We present an overview of the NTCIR Math Tasks organized during NTCIR-10, 11, and 12. These tasks are primarily dedicated to techniques for searching mathematical content with formula expressions. In this chapter, we first summarize the task design and introduce test collections generated in the tasks. We also describe the features and main challenges of mathematical information retrieval systems and discuss future perspectives in the field.

Abstract

Das Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education entwirft ein spezifisches Verständnis von Informationskompetenz als Grundlage für die Teilnahme am akademischen Diskurs. Über die Frage nach dem impliziten Gebrauch von information und literacy als zentralen Begriffen fragt der Beitrag nach der Übertragbarkeit dieser Sicht von Informationskompetenz auf andere Diskurse als den akademischen.

Abstract

Cataloging practices, as exemplified by the five user tasks of the IFLA Library Reference Model, can support information literacy practices. The six frames of the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education are used as lenses to examine the user tasks. Two themes emerge from this examination: context matters, and catalogers must tailor bibliographic descriptions to meet users' expectations and information needs. Catalogers need to solicit feedback from various user communities to reform cataloging practices to remain current and viable. Such conversations will enrich the catalog and enhance (reclaim?) its position as a primary tool for research and learning. Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/01639374.2021.1939828.

Abstract

The initial dimensions extracted by latent semantic analysis (LSA) of a document-term matrixhave been shown to mainly display marginal effects, which are irrelevant for informationretrieval. To improve the performance of LSA, usually the elements of the raw document-term matrix are weighted and the weighting exponent of singular values can be adjusted.An alternative information retrieval technique that ignores the marginal effects is correspon-dence analysis (CA). In this paper, the information retrieval performance of LSA and CA isempirically compared. Moreover, it is explored whether the two weightings also improve theperformance of CA. The results for four empirical datasets show that CA always performsbetter than LSA. Weighting the elements of the raw data matrix can improve CA; however,it is data dependent and the improvement is small. Adjusting the singular value weightingexponent often improves the performance of CA; however, the extent of the improvementdepends on the dataset and the number of dimensions.

Abstract

Wikipedia categories, a classification scheme built for organizing and describing Wikpedia articles, are being applied in computer science research. This paper adopts a systematic literature review approach, in order to identify different approaches and uses of Wikipedia categories in information retrieval research. Several types of work are identified, depending on the intrinsic study of the categories structure, or its use as a tool for the processing and analysis of other documentary corpus different to Wikipedia. Information retrieval is identified as one of the major areas of use, in particular its application in the refinement and improvement of search expressions, and the construction of textual corpus. However, the set of available works shows that in many cases research approaches applied and results obtained can be integrated into a comprehensive and inclusive concept of information retrieval.

Abstract

COVID-19 is an unprecedented global health crisis that will have immeasurable consequences for our economic and social well-being. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director general of the World Health Organization, stated "We're not just fighting an epidemic; we're fighting an infodemic". Currently, there is no robust scientific basis to the existing definitions of false information used in the fight against the COVID-19infodemic. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how the use of a novel taxonomy and related model (based upon a conceptual framework that synthesizes insights from information science, philosophy, media studies and politics) can produce new scientific definitions of mis-, dis- and malinformation. We undertake our analysis from the viewpoint of information systems research. The conceptual approach to defining mis-,dis- and malinformation can be applied to a wide range of empirical examples and, if applied properly, may prove useful in fighting the COVID-19 infodemic. In sum, our research suggests that: (i) analyzing all types of information is important in the battle against the COVID-19 infodemic; (ii) a scientific approach is required so that different methods are not used by different studies; (iii) "misinformation", as an umbrella term, can be confusing and should be dropped from use; (iv) clear, scientific definitions of information types will be needed going forward; (v) malinformation is an overlooked phenomenon involving reconfigurations of the truth.

Abstract

Wenn ein Programmkomitee für ein wissenschaftliches Symposium mit 65 Personen besetzt wird, dann darf man sich auf ein breites und qualitativ fundiertes Programm und Symposium freuen, auch wenn der Abstimmungsbedarf zwischen den 65 Komiteemitgliedern extrem aufwendig gewesen sein muss. Coronabedingt musste das dreitätige Symposium virtuell stattfinden und organisiert werden. Dennoch wurde als offizieller Tagungsort Regensburg gewählt und wohl auch in Erinnerung an den leider viel zu früh verstorbenen Rainer Hammwöhner das Thema "Information Science and its Neighbours from Data Science to Digital Humanities" im Subtitel des Tagungsthemas "Information between Data and Knowledge" gewählt. Schließlich war es Rainer Hammwöhner (in Zusammenarbeit mit David Elsweiler und Christian Wolff), der schon 2015 auf den für die deutschsprachige Informationswissenschaft erschreckenden Tatbestand einer langjährig naiv anmutenden Ignoranz des internationalen "Information Behavior"-Forschungsfeldes hinwies: "Man wird der deutschsprachigen Informationswissenschaft nicht wirklich unrecht tun, wenn man sie in Sachen Informationsverhalten als Spätentwickler charakterisiert. Einem der Herausgeber dieses Themenheftes ist diesbezüglich noch gut in Erinnerung, wie er 2007 im Rahmen des informationswissenschaftlichen Symposiums in Köln von einem Kollegen aus Down Under gefragt wurde, warum es denn in Deutschland keine Forschung zu diesem Thema gebe, wo dies doch in der englischsprachigen Community seit Jahren ein heißes Thema sei" (David Elsweiler, Rainer Hammwöhner und Christian Wolff, Regensburg: Informationsverhalten als Forschungsgegenstand, in: Information. Wissenschaft & Praxis 2015; 66(1): 1-2).

Abstract

Im Mittelpunkt dieses Beitrags steht das 2016 von der Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) veröffentlichte Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, dessen Kernideen und Entwicklung aus Vorläufern wie den 2000 von der ACRL publizierten Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education heraus skizziert werden. Die Rezeptionsgeschichte dieser Standards im deutschen Sprachraum wird vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte ihrer (partiellen) Übersetzung nachgezeichnet und hieraus das Potenzial abgeleitet, das die nun vorliegende vollständige Übersetzung des Framework ins Deutsche für eine zeitgemäße Förderung von Informationskompetenz bietet. Die vielfältigen Herausforderungen einer solchen Übersetzung werden durch Einblicke in die Übersetzungswerkstatt exemplarisch reflektiert.

Abstract

I wonder if you would consider an English perspective on the exchange between Bernd Jörs and Hermann Huemer. In my career in the independent education sector I can recall many discussions and Government reports about cross-curricular issues such as logical reasoning and critical thinking, In the IB system this led to the inclusion in the Diploma of "Theory of Knowledge." In the UK we had "key skills" and "critical thinking." One such key skill is what we now call "information literacy." "In his parody of Information literacy, Dr Jörs seems to have confused a necessary condition for a sufficient condition. The fact that information competence may be necessary for serious academic study does not of course make it sufficient. When that is understood the joke about the megalomaniac rather loses its force. (We had better pass over the rant which follows, the sneer at "earth sciences" and the German prejudice towards Austrians)."

Abstract

A systematic literature review is carried out, detailing the research topics and the methods and techniques used in information science in studies published between 2000 and 2019. The results obtained allow us to affirm that there is no consensus on the core topics of information science, as these evolve and change dynamically in relation to other disciplines, and with the dominant social and cultural contexts. With regard to the research methods and techniques, it can be stated that they have mostly been adopted from social sciences, with the addition of numerical methods, especially in the fields of bibliometric and scientometric research.

Abstract

Im Mittelpunkt dieses Beitrags steht das 2016 von der Association of College & Research Libraries (ACRL) veröffentlichte Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education, dessen Kernideen und Entwicklung aus Vorläufern wie den 2000 von der ACRL publizierten Information Literacy Competency Standards for Higher Education heraus skizziert werden. Die Rezeptionsgeschichte dieser Standards im deutschen Sprachraum wird vor dem Hintergrund der Geschichte ihrer (partiellen) Übersetzung nachgezeichnet und hieraus das Potenzial abgeleitet, das die nun vorliegende vollständige Übersetzung des Framework ins Deutsche für eine zeitgemäße Förderung von Informationskompetenz bietet. Die vielfältigen Herausforderungen einer solchen Übersetzung werden durch Einblicke in die Übersetzungswerkstatt exemplarisch reflektiert.

Abstract

We consider use of ontological background knowledge in intelligent information systems and analyze directions of their reduction in compliance with specifics of particular user task. Such reduction is aimed at simplification of knowledge processing without loss of significant information. We propose methods of generation of task thesauri based on domain ontology that contain such subset of ontological concepts and relations that can be used in task solving. Combinatorial optimization is used for minimization of task thesaurus. In this approach, semantic similarity estimates are used for determination of concept significance for user task. Some practical examples of optimized thesauri application for semantic retrieval and competence analysis demonstrate efficiency of proposed approach.

Abstract

The content of master's programs accredited by the American Library Association was examined to assess the status of knowledge organization (KO) as a subject in current training. Data collected show that KO remains very visible in a majority of programs, mainly in the form of required and electives courses focusing on descriptive cataloging, classification, and metadata. Observed tendencies include, however, the recent elimination of the required KO course in several programs, the reality that one third of KO electives listed in course catalogs have not been scheduled in the past three years, and the fact that two-thirds of those teaching KO specialize in other areas of information science.
