Book Review: Benjamin Geva, Bank Collections and Payment Transactions
No full textThe author reviews Geva, Bank Collections and Payment Transactions (Oxford University Press, 2001). The book is the first comprehensive work on the comparative law of checks and electronic funds transfers, and attempts to identify a universal law merchant governing checks and electronic funds transfers in these bodies of law
Analysis of the INEX 2009 Ad Hoc Track results
No full textThis paper analyzes the results of the INEX 2009 Ad Hoc Track, focusing on a variety of topics. First, we examine in detail the relevance judgments. Second, we study the resulting system rankings, for each of the four ad hoc tasks, and determine whether differences between the best scoring participants are statistically significant. Third, we restrict our attention to particular run types: element and passage runs, keyword and phrase query runs, and systems using a reference run with a solid article ranking. Fourth, we examine the relative effectiveness of content only (CO, or Keyword) search as well as content and structure (CAS, or structured) search. Fifth, we look at the ability of focused retrieval techniques to rank articles. Sixth, we study the length of retrieved results, and look at the impact of restricting result length
Document clustering with K-tree
No full textThis paper describes the approach taken to the XML Mining track at INEX 2008 by a group at the Queensland University of Technology. We introduce the K-tree clustering algorithm in an Information Retrieval context by adapting it for document clustering. Many large scale problems exist in document clustering. K-tree scales well with large inputs due to its low complexity. It offers promising results both in terms of efficiency and quality. Document classification was completed using Support Vector Machines

XOR - XML Oriented Retrieval Language
No full texthttp://www.limsi.fr/Individu/xtannier/Publications/Tannier_SIGIR06_abstract.htmlThe wide acceptance and rapidly growing use of XML as a standard storage and retrieval data format blurs the historical divide that exists between Information Retrieval and Database Retrieval. On the structured database retrieval side it is now possible to support highly structured access to documents using XML specific tools such as XPath, XQuery, XQL and more. On the information retrieval side it is possible to support access to the XML documents using XML specific retrieval query languages such as NEXI. None of the above are intended for end-users, but rather as enabling back-end technologies. In this paper we introduce XOR - a new XML Oriented Retrieval language that is designed to facilitate query specification with a strong IR flavour. XOR is backwards compatible with NEXI, but significantly extends its functionality overcoming many of its restrictions and limitations. While XOR itself is not an end-user tool, it is designed with the explicit goal of supporting IR, and more specifically, user oriented interfaces such as Natural Language Queries (NLQ) or interactive user interfaces. XOR provides the missing functionality that none of the existing XML retrieval tools support, and which advanced IR requires
Overview of the INEX 2010 ad hoc track
No full textThis paper gives an overview of the INEX 2010 Ad Hoc Track. The main goals of the Ad Hoc Track were three-fold. The first goal was to study focused retrieval under resource restricted conditions such as a small screen mobile device or a document summary on a hitlist. The leads to variants of the focused retrieval tasks that address the impact of result length/reading effort, thinking of focused retrieval as a form of �snippet� retrieval. The second goal was to extend the ad hoc retrieval test collection on the INEX 2009 Wikipedia Collection with additional topics and judgments. For this reason the Ad Hoc track topics and assessments stayed unchanged. The third goal was to examine the trade-off between effectiveness and efficiency by continuing the Efficiency Track as a task in the Ad Hoc Track. The INEX 2010 Ad Hoc Track featured four tasks: the Relevant in Context Task, the Restricted Relevant in Context Task, the Restrict Focused Task, and the Efficiency Task. We discuss the setup of the track, and the results for the four tasks

Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)
No full textThis study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)
