The Rose

Apresenta organização e classificação dos sistemas de informação e cultura revistas a partir de O Nome da rosa, livro e filme. Destaca a representação como abordagem conceitual. Amplia a noção de linguagem estabelecida para o Sistema de Recuperação da Informação (SRI) e propõe a identificação de várias linguagens como constituintes dos sistemas de informação e cultura. Essas linguagens, tomadas como instrumentos conceituais e operacionais, são utilizadas para a análise da obra em questão. Palavras-chave Sistemas de informação e cultura; Sistema de Recuperação da Informação (SRI); Representação; Linguagem; O Nome da rosa Abstract Organization and classification of the information and culture systems reviewed starting from The Name of the rose, book and film. Representation is the conceptual approach. The language notion used on Information Retrieval Systems (IRS) is broadened. Proposes the identification of several languages as constituents of the information and culture systems. These languages, taken as conceptual and operational tools, are used for the analysis.

Text Information

Along with Kansei information being successfully introduced to information retrieval systems, particularly multimedia retrieval systems, many Kansei retrieval systems have been implemented in the past two decades. And, it has become clear that the traditional multimedia retrieval systems using key-words or/and other text information are not enough in many applications, because that they can not deal with sensitive words reflecting user’s subjectivity. In this chapter, Kansei retrieval systems efficiently taking user’s subjectivity into account will be discussed in detail. Like many traditional retrieval systems, Kansei retrieval systems are also based on databases system, which are called Kansei databases. After roughly introducing some existing Kansei retrieval systems is a general flow for designing Kansei retrieval systems. Also, we will discuss how to speed up the Kansei retrieval systems by using multidimensional indexing technologies and you will learn that our proposed multidimensional index structure, Adaptive R*-tree (AR*-tree for short), is more suitable to Kansei retrieval systems than the traditional multidimensional indexing technologies.

Level Of Processing

An experiment is described which attempts to derive quantitative indicators regarding the potential relevance predictability of the intermediate stimuli used to represent documents in information retrieval systems. In effect, since the decision to peruse an entire document is often predicated upon the examination of one »level of processing« of the document (e.g., the citation and/or abstract), it became interesting to analyze the properties of what constitutes »relevance«. However, prior to such an analysis, an even more elementary step had to be made, namely, to determine what portions of a document should be examined.An evaluation of the ability of intermediate response products (IRPs), functioning as cues to the information content of full documents, to predict the relevance determination that would be subsequently made on these documents by motivated users of information retrieval systems, was made under controlled experimental conditions. The hypothesis that there might be other intermediate response products (selected extracts from the document, i.e., first paragraph, last paragraph, and the combination of first and last paragraph), that would be as representative of the full document as the traditional IRPs (citation and abstract) was tested systematically. The results showed that:1. there is no significant difference among the several IRP treatment groups on the number of cue evaluations of relevancy which match the subsequent user relevancy decision on the document;2. first and last paragraph combinations have consistently predicted relevancy to a higher degree than the other IRPs;3. abstracts were undistinguished as predictors; and4. the apparent high predictability rating for citations was not substantive.Some of these results are quite different than would be expected from previous work with unmotivated subjects.

Oriented Approach

AbstractEvaluation of information retrieval systems is a fundamental topic in Library and Information Science. The aim of this paper is to connect the system-oriented and the user-oriented approaches to relevant philosophical schools. By reviewing the related literature, it was found that the evaluation of information retrieval systems is successful if it benefits from both system-oriented and user-oriented approaches (composite). The system-oriented approach is rooted in Parmenides’ philosophy of stability (immovable) which Plato accepts and attributes to the world of forms; the user-oriented approach is rooted in Heraclitus’ flux philosophy (motion) which Plato defers and attributes to the tangible world. Thus, using Plato’s theory is a comprehensive approach for recognizing the concept of relevance. The theoretical and philosophical foundations determine the type of research methods and techniques. Therefore, Plato’s dialectical method is an appropriate composite method for evaluating information retrieval systems.
