XML retrieval and evaluation: the INEX experience
This event took place on Thursday 17 November 2005 at 12:30
Dr. Mounia Lalmas Yahoo! Research, Barcelona
Providing effective access to XML-based content is what XML retrieval research is about. XML retrieval systems aim to exploit the logical structure of documents, which is explicitly represented by the XML markup, to retrieve document components instead of whole documents in response to a user's query. Implementing this more focused retrieval paradigm means that an XML retrieval system needs not only to find relevant information in the XML documents, but also determine the appropriate level of component granularity to return to the user.
This talk will discuss the issues involved in returning the appropriate level of component granularity to the user, the approaches developed to provide this more focussed retrieval, and the evaluation methodology followed by INEX, the Evaluation Initiative for XML Retrieval, to evaluate the retrieval effectiveness of these approaches.

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.
