Information consumption in China occurs in a rapidly shifting social and political environment. Understanding this group of information consumers is likely to play an important role in business and political decision making globally for the foreseeable future. Ratings of the importance of the dimensions of information quality and the way in which these ratings have shifted over time shed light ...

PURPOSE Much of the information needed for radiology teaching and research is not in the picture archiving and communication system but distributed in hospital information systems throughout the medical enterprise. Our objective is to describe the design, methodology, and implementation of a data warehouse to integrate and make accessible the types of medical data pertinent to radiology researc...

This paper reports explorations on a novel approach for speech information retrieval with spoken queries. The method uses a two-layer decoding scheme, where the intermediary representation of speech is based on phonemes, which makes the system vocabularyindependent. Moreover, the use of synchronized lattices at this intermediary level is shown to improve the discriminative performance while dec...

Abstract This paper argues that meaning-making with multimodal representations in science learning is always contextualized within a genre and, conversely, what constitutes an ongoing also depends on coordination of speech, gesture, diagrams, symbols, and material objects. In social semiotics, culturally evolved way doing things language (including non-verbal representations). Genre provides us...

Classification of texts by genre can benefit applications in Natural Language Processing and Information Retrieval. However, a mono-lingual approach requires large amounts of labeled texts in the target language. Work reported here shows that the benefits of genre classification can be extended to other languages through cross-lingual methods. Comparable corpora – here taken to be collections o...

Genre analysis, the investigation of typified communicative actions arising in recurrent situations, has been developed to study information use and interchange online, in businesses and in other organizations. As such, it holds out promise for the investigation of similarly typified communicative actions and situations in CSCL contexts. This study explores this promise, beginning with an overv...
