The Reason That Search Engines Are Fast But Not Very Accurate
This event took place on Wednesday 14 July 2010 at 11:30

 
Andrew Trotman University of Otago (New Zealand)

Search Engine Efficiency has been an active field of Information Retrieval research for many years and the literature is vast. When implementing a search engine it is necessary to wade through this literature and to make engineering decisions on what to implement and what to not. Andrew has recently implemented an new efficient search engine and in this presentation will outline its design. This search engine is fast and accurate, but as he will show; academically accurate. Unfortunately, it's not quite so obvious what academic accuracy means for a user.

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
