چکیده

During a session of the INEX 2006 workshop in Schloss Dagstuhl the first at-INEX experiment was run. Participants were asked to assess topics in order to increase the number of multiple assessed topics available for analysis (and in order to increase the number of assessors per topic). This contribution presents the experimental set-up, the experiment, and an analysis of the results. When examining the agreement level across all assessors it is shown that each assessor both brings new material, and disagrees with the there-to consensus. Extrapolation suggests that with 8 assessors, there will be no content that they all agree is relevant, but they continue to agree on which documents are reliant until 19 assessors are present. This suggests that relevance is in the mind of the assessor and not a ground truth. Additionally examined are several problems encountered in conducting the experiment. These are explained in detail and recommendations for change in the INEX methodology are made.

Why Do We Need Foundations for Modelling Uncertainties?

1 What Are Foundations? Surely we want solid foundations. What kind of castle can we build on sand? What is the point of devoting effort to balconies and minarets, if the foundation may be so weak as to allow the structure to collapse of its own weight? We want our foundations set on bedrock, designed to last for generations. Who would want an architect who cannot certify the soundness of the f...
