    Rez. in: nfd - Information 54(2003) H.6, S.379-380 (U. Thiel): "Kannte G. Salton bei der Entwicklung des Vektorraummodells die kybernetisch orientierten Versuche mit assoziativen Speicherstrukturen? An diese und ähnliche Vermutungen, die ich vor einigen Jahren mit Reginald Ferber und anderen Kollegen diskutierte, erinnerte mich die Thematik des vorliegenden Buches. Immerhin lässt sich feststellen, dass die Vektorrepräsentation eine genial einfache Darstellung sowohl der im Information Retrieval (IR) als grundlegende Datenstruktur benutzten "inverted files" als auch der assoziativen Speichermatrizen darstellt, die sich im Laufe der Zeit Über Perzeptrons zu Neuronalen Netzen (NN) weiterentwickelten. Dieser formale Zusammenhang stimulierte in der Folge eine Reihe von Ansätzen, die Netzwerke im Retrieval zu verwenden, wobei sich, wie auch im vorliegenden Band, hybride Ansätze, die Methoden aus beiden Disziplinen kombinieren, als sehr geeignet erweisen. Aber der Reihe nach... Das Buch wurde vom Autor als Dissertation beim Fachbereich IV "Sprachen und Technik" der Universität Hildesheim eingereicht und resultiert aus einer Folge von Forschungsbeiträgen zu mehreren Projekten, an denen der Autor in der Zeit von 1995 bis 2000 an verschiedenen Standorten beteiligt war. Dies erklärt die ungewohnte Breite der Anwendungen, Szenarien und Domänen, in denen die Ergebnisse gewonnen wurden. So wird das in der Arbeit entwickelte COSIMIR Modell (COgnitive SIMilarity learning in Information Retrieval) nicht nur anhand der klassischen Cranfield-Kollektion evaluiert, sondern auch im WING-Projekt der Universität Regensburg im Faktenretrieval aus einer Werkstoffdatenbank eingesetzt. Weitere Versuche mit der als "Transformations-Netzwerk" bezeichneten Komponente, deren Aufgabe die Abbildung von Gewichtungsfunktionen zwischen zwei Termräumen ist, runden das Spektrum der Experimente ab. Aber nicht nur die vorgestellten Resultate sind vielfältig, auch der dem Leser angebotene "State-of-the-Art"-Überblick fasst in hoch informativer Breite Wesentliches aus den Gebieten IR und NN zusammen und beleuchtet die Schnittpunkte der beiden Bereiche. So werden neben den Grundlagen des Text- und Faktenretrieval die Ansätze zur Verbesserung der Adaptivität und zur Beherrschung von Heterogenität vorgestellt, während als Grundlagen Neuronaler Netze neben einer allgemeinen Einführung in die Grundbegriffe u.a. das Backpropagation-Modell, KohonenNetze und die Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) geschildert werden. Einweiteres Kapitel stellt die bisherigen NN-orientierten Ansätze im IR vor und rundet den Abriss der relevanten Forschungslandschaft ab. Als Vorbereitung der Präsentation des COSIMIR-Modells schiebt der Autor an dieser Stelle ein diskursives Kapitel zum Thema Heterogenität im IR ein, wodurch die Ziele und Grundannahmen der Arbeit noch einmal reflektiert werden. Als Dimensionen der Heterogenität werden der Objekttyp, die Qualität der Objekte und ihrer Erschließung und die Mehrsprachigkeit genannt. Wenn auch diese Systematik im Wesentlichen die Akzente auf Probleme aus den hier tangierten Projekten legt, und weniger eine umfassende Aufbereitung z.B. der Literatur zum Problem der Relevanz anstrebt, ist sie dennoch hilfreich zum Verständnis der in den nachfolgenden Kapitel oft nur implizit angesprochenen Designentscheidungen bei der Konzeption der entwickelten Prototypen. Der Ansatz, Heterogenität durch Transformationen zu behandeln, wird im speziellen Kontext der NN konkretisiert, wobei andere Möglichkeiten, die z.B. Instrumente der Logik und Probabilistik einzusetzen, nur kurz diskutiert werden. Eine weitergehende Analyse hätte wohl auch den Rahmen der Arbeit zu weit gespannt,

    Rez. in: JASIST 58(2007) no.7, S.1066-1067 (X. Zhu u. J. Liao): "The user, without whom any product or service would be nothing, plays a very important role during the whole life cycle of products or services. The user's involvement should be from the very beginning, not just after products or services are ready to work. According to ISO 9241-11: 1998, Part 11, Usability refers to "the extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction in a specified context of user." As an academic topic of human-computer interaction, Web usability has been studied widely for a long time. This classroom-oriented book, bridging academia and the educational community, talks about Web usability in a student-friendly fashion. It outlines not only the methodology of user-centered Web site design but also details the methods to implement at every stage of the methodology. That is, the book presents the user-centered Web-design approach from both macrocosm and microcosm points of view, which makes it both recapitulative and practical. The most important key word in Web Usability is "user-centered," which means Web developers should not substitute their own personal preferences for the users' needs. The book classifies Web sites into five types: E-commerce, informational, entertainment, community, and intranet. Since the methods used during Web development differ somewhat depending on the type of Web site, it is necessary to have a classification in advance. With Figure 1.3 on p. 17, the book explains the whole user-centered Webdevelopment life cycle (called "methodology" in this book review), which provides a clear path for Web development that is easy to understand, remember, and perform. Since all the following chapters are based on the methodology, a clear presentation of it is paramount. The table on p. 93 summarizes concisely all types of methods for requirements gathering and their advantages and disadvantages. According to this table, appropriate methods can be easily chosen for different Web site development projects. As the author remarked, "requirements gathering is central to the concept of user-centered design," (p. 98) and "one of the hallmarks of user-centered design is usability testing" (p. 205). Stage 2 (collect user requirements) and Stage 5 (perform usability testing) of the user-centered Web-development life cycle are the two stages with the most user involvement: however, this does not mean that all other stages are user unrelated. For example, in Stage 4 (create and modify physical design), frame is not suggested to be used just because most users are unfamiliar with the concept of frame (p. 201). Note that frequently there are several rounds of usability testing to be performed in the four case studies, and some of them are performed before the physical-design stage or even the conceptual-design stage, which embodies the idea of an iterative design process.

    Chapter 2 (Technology and People) focuses an several theories of technological acceptance and diffusion. Unfortunately, Bruce's presentation is somewhat confusing as he moves from one theory to next, never quite connecting them into a logical sequence or coherent whole. Two theories are of particular interest to Bruce: the Theory of Diffusion of Innovations and the Theory of Planned Behavior. The Theory of Diffusion of Innovations is an "information-centric view of technology acceptance" in which technology adopters are placed in the information flows of society from which they learn about innovations and "drive innovation adoption decisions" (p. 20). The Theory of Planned Behavior maintains that the "performance of a behavior is a joint function of intentions and perceived behavioral control" (i.e., how muck control a person thinks they have) (pp. 22-23). Bruce combines these two theories to form the basis for the Technology Acceptance Model. This model posits that "an individual's acceptance of information technology is based an beliefs, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors" (p. 24). In all these theories and models echoes a recurring theme: "individual perceptions of the innovation or technology are critical" in terms of both its characteristics and its use (pp. 24-25). From these, in turn, Bruce derives a predictive theory of the role personal perceptions play in technology adoption: Personal Innovativeness of Information Technology Adoption (PIITA). Personal inventiveness is defined as "the willingness of an individual to try out any new information technology" (p. 26). In general, the PIITA theory predicts that information technology will be adopted by individuals that have a greater exposure to mass media, rely less an the evaluation of information technology by others, exhibit a greater ability to cope with uncertainty and take risks, and requires a less positive perception of an information technology prior to its adoption. Chapter 3 (A Focus an Usings) introduces the User-Centered Paradigm (UCP). The UCP is characteristic of the shift of emphasis from technology to users as the driving force behind technology and research agendas for Internet development [for a dissenting view, see Andrew Dillion's (2003) challenge to the utility of user-centerness for design guidance]. It entails the "broad acceptance of the user-oriented perspective across a range of disciplines and professional fields," such as business, education, cognitive engineering, and information science (p. 34).
