What's Implicit in Space
This event took place on Tuesday 25 March 2008 at 11:30

 
Prof. Massimo Melucci Department of Information Engineering, University of Padua, Italy

The talk will introduce a geometric model and its investigation in the context of enhanced implicit feedback tailored for each task and personalized for each user. The geometric model leverages recent advances of vector space-based information retrieval. The results of some experiments using rich interaction logs demonstrate both the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm and the potential value of incorporating multiple sources of interaction evidence when developing implicit feedback algorithms.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
