Presentation Schedule
- Each speaker
send me a short resume, including with slides of your talk, via email
on Monday morning.
- Other students
prepare at least one interesting question about the subject presented by
the speaker(s) at that day.
December 2, 1998:
- Taewa and Pawat
will first give a brief talk about IR evaluation
(i.e., What is Recall and Precision? From
where does RP curve come?) for 25 minutes. Note that it will be very advantageous
for our class if my old IR students, Sethalat and Wassara propose to give
a brief talk about some IR core subject! :_)
- Our first volunteer, Kingkarn
proposes to give a talk about "AT&T
at TREC-6 and related paper in SIGIR'95",
written by A.
Singhal, expected to discuss about pivot-length
normalization.
- The second lucky student is Woravit who
will prepare a talk for "Optimization of Relevance
Feedback Weights", written by C. Buckley. I expect to see some
tranparents explaining the conventional feedback
ideas proposed by Ide and Rocchiro in early 70s. You can contact
Pawat for a copy of feedback papers.

- Happy new Year 1999
January 6, 1999:
- Arj. Chuleerat from Computer Science Department,
Kasetsart University, will kindly give us an hour talk about "Thai
Text Retrieval". Thank you so much for
her contribution to our class. You should prepare your questions!
- Group 01 wlll present the full description
of the SMART system, including with the promising
mini-project proposal.
- Group 02 will present the full description
of the ZPRISE system, including with the promising
mini-project proposal.
January 8, 1999:
- Group 03 wlll present the full description
of the DSIR system, including with the promising
mini-project proposal.
- Group 04 will present the full description
of the MG system, including with the promising
mini-project proposal.
January 13, 1999:
- Arj. Assadaporn from Statistical Department,
Chulalongkorn University, will kindly give us an hour talk about "User
Interface with IR System". Thank a lot
for her kindness. All students should prepare some interesting questions!
- Chayawat will talk about "MDS
TREC6 Report" written by M. Fuller and RMIT's researchers.
I expect to see how they combine several retrieval
results written in their TREC5 report during this talk, as well.
January 15, 1999:
- Wasara will talk about "Fusion
Via Linear Combination for the Routing Problem" and its realted
paper in TREC5, written by C. Vogt. An introduction about routing task
is expected to provided, following with fusion technique
of several IR experts which is the core concept of these papers.
- Mongkol will prepare a talk about "Context
Base Statistical Sub-spaces" and related paper in TREC5, written
by G. Newby.
- Arnon (not me :_)) will end this day with
his talk about "Automatic 3-Languages Cross-Language
Information Retrieval with LSI", written by B. Rehder. An introduction
to CLIR and a full detail of LSI
retrieval model are expected.
- Pawat will open our AI week with his talk
about "TREC4 Adhoc,
Routing Retrieval and Filtering Experiments Using PIRCS", written
by K. Kwok. PRICS is a neural network based IR system. So, a full bibliographical
survey of PRICS system in TREC1, TREC2, ...,
is expected.
January 20, 1999:
- Sornnarin will finish this AI week with
"Natural Language Information Retrieval"
papers of T. Strzalkowski. NLP maniacs from
other class can join our discussion if you would like to. :_)
- Sethalat will open this parallel IR week
with his talk under the subject of "Parallel
Technique for Efficient Searching over Very Large Text Collection",
written by B. Mamalis, and its related paper in SIGIR'95.
- Tawa will follow by "Dissemination
of Collection Wide Information in a Distributed IR System",
written by C. Viles, and its related papers.
January 27, 1999:
- Apiseth will present " Using
Query zoning and correlation within SMART ,TREC 5+ Using Clustering and
Super Concept within SMART , TREC 6", written by Chris Buckley
.
- Toungporn will begin the IR system week
with "INQUERY Does Battle with TREC6",
written by J. Allan. A full description of INQUERY
system in related papers is expected to present, following with the techniques
described in their TREC6 paper.
- Tossaporn will give a talk about "Okapi
at TREC-6 Automatic ad hoc, VLC, routing,
filtering and QSDR", written by S. Walker. A full description
of Okapi system in related papers is expected
to discuss, following with the techniques described in their TREC6 paper.
February 10, 1999:
- Wittayakorn will talk about "ANU/ACSys
TREC-5 Experiments", written by D. Hawking, P. Thistlewaite,
P. Bailey (Australian National University) .
- Apisit will give us a talk about "Siemens
TREC4 Report: Further Experiments with Database Merging" of
E. Voorhees, and its realted papers in TREC3 and SIGIR'95. Full description
about database merging technique is expected.
- Prakon will continue with "A
Case-Based Approach to Intelligent Information Retrieval",
written by J. Daniels, and its related CBIR papers
from Umass server.
February 17, 24, 1999:
