BACKGROUND Nurses play an important role in educating patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) about immunosuppressive or biological therapy during prescribing consultations. The education for immunosuppressive or biological therapy often contains complex information. Poor medication intake behavior can be a result of poor information recall, which is often caused by complex information. ...

Web search performance and efficiency is critical for many people and organizations in emerging knowledge society. Nowadays, ontologies are being applied in a number of ontology-based information retrieval systems in order to improve the performance of these systems wherein quality of ontology plays an important role. An important body of work exists in both information retrieval evaluation and...

The systematic evaluation of ontology alignments still faces a number of problems. One is the argued inadequacy of traditional quality measures adopted from the field of information retrieval. In previous work, Euzenat and others have proposed notions of semantic precision and recall that are supposed to better reflect the true quality of an alignment by considering the deductive closure of a m...

In our global society, multilingual barriers sometimes prohibit and often discourage people from accessing a wider variety of goods and services. We propose multilingual extraction ontologies as an approach to resolving these issues. Our ontologies provide a conceptual framework for a narrow domain of interest. Grounding narrow-domain ontologies linguistically enables them to map relevant utter...

We believe the techniques for evaluating clone detectors can be improved, and that the improvements can lead the way to better clone detector research and research results. Current techniques are based on simple performance measures borrowed from information retrieval (IR) research. Here we argue that additional IR evaluation measures can be usefully imported. 1. Limitations of current research...

Aging appears to be associated with a growing preference for positive over negative information (Carstensen, Mikels, & Mather, 2006). In this study, we investigated potential awareness of the phenomenon by asking older people to recollect material from the perspective of a young person. Young and older participants listened to stories about 25and 75-year-old main characters and then were asked ...

Troubleshooting search system aims at extracting relevant information to solve the problem at hand. It is often the case that documents in troubleshooting system includes an abundant amount of domain-speci c categories. However, the useful information about the domain-speci c categories, such as relationship between words and categories and relationship between categories, is not fully utilized...

Most common effectiveness measures for information retrieval systems are based on binary relevance (either a document is relevant to a given query or it is not) and binary retrieval (either a document is retrieved or it is not). These assumptions are questioned, and a new measure named ADM (Average Distance Measure) is proposed. ADM turns out to be both adequate to measure the effectiveness of ...
