Having in mind today's growth of information sources, both in terms of their number and of their size, whether we are referring to the Internet, a corporate intranet, or a library information retrieval system, we can say that manipulating information is not a trivial task. The user is not often being catered for in distributed information systems. He/ she seems to be interacting with systems that do not recognize his/her uniqueness and thus do not offer an individualized treatment. As a result, User Modeling is a core, essential factor in achieving personalization. We present here an intelligent way of inferring user related information that is not available, a situation that is very likely to occur due to sparseness of relevant data. This method can be very useful in recommender systems and this is illustrated with an example.

Information retrieval is the activity to organize information in a certain way, and according to the users demand to find out the related information from a collection of resources. Retrieval process and technology can be based on metadata or full-text indexing. Most of the relevant information retrieval systems are devised on the computer. However, with the highly development of the embedded technology, some popular application have been developed on the platform. In this paper, we will introduce an information retrieval system on the iOS platform which is more convenient, practical, and effective compared with the traditional system. And we will introduce an application based on this system design. The experiments shown that this system was exactly effective utilized to retrieval audio information.

The Relationship

The relationship between theory and explanation in informa tion retrieval research is analysed. Problems in the development of a generalisable information retrieval theory from informa tion retrieval experiment and the associated mathematical mod elling is examined. The source of these problems is traced back to assumptions underlying information retrieval research, and to the nature of the relationship between the theoretical frame work of information retrieval research and the nature of the problems on which this framework is brought to bear. Particu lar attention is directed to problems in measurement, in estab lishing a significant relationship between test results and results from operational evaluations, and in establishing a connection between the situational and behavioural assumptions employed in information retrieval research and real situations and be haviour. The attempt to develop information retrieval research as an experimental science akin to natural science or engineering, around the notion of the quantification of relevance is miscon ceived. In order for information retrieval research to break out of the limitations of its present theoretical framework, and of the backwater to which that framework has led, a reorientation is required. The argument of this paper is that information retrieval research needs to be reoriented from a focus on the information retrieval system and on supposed 'systemic' factors to an orientation to the user and the user's interaction with information sources.

Corporate Information

The Boeing Company's Corporate Information Retrieval System (CIRS) began several years ago as an experiment in effective communication between a top-level corporate executive and a computerized, distributed information processing environment. Today, this experiment has evolved into a production system that is continually being enhanced to meet the requirements of its users. It is vital to note, however, that no enhancement is accepted whose implementation is not consistent with the original concept of a friendly and uncomplicated user interface. The interactive session presented at the Human Factors Conference will consist of a live demonstration of the CIRS system, as well as an informal discussion of the CIRS philosophy and implementation.

Twitter Account

The development of technology and information has led to the emergence of many media that can be used as information sources, including social media. Twitter has started an automatic base (autobase) system with has automenfess feature. This study aims to see the level of users' ability and the use of autobase as an information retrieval system. Respondents were users or followers of the @collegemenfess Twitter account. This study used a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis. The data were obtained through an online survey of 70 followers of the @collegemenfess account. The study found that users' ability level was in the intermediate user category and the use of information retrieval system on this autobase was to send messages with a certain format which then that message will be a confession mention.

Reporting Procedures

The selection and implementation of an information retri eval software package in a small pharmaceutical information unit is described. Its initial application to the unit's product complaints system is outlined together with other current and proposed developments. These include a database of the slide collection and an index of information sources available in the library. The manner in which some of the information unit's reporting procedures have been rationalised is also discussed.
