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.

New Media Systems is...


Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.

Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.

Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
