The present studies were designed to examine age differences in memory when attention was divided during encoding, retrieval, or at both times. In Experiment 1, Ss studied categorized words while performing a number-monitoring task during encoding, retrieval, or at both times. Older Ss' free recall and clustering performance declined more than that of young Ss when attention was divided at enco...

Inclusion of the names of the products or companies does not indicate a claim of ownership by IGI Global of the trademark or registered trademark. IntroductIon Resource retrieval addresses the problem of finding best matches to a request among available resources, with both the request and the resources described wi...

Successful information retrieval requires effective matching between the user’s search request and the contents of relevant documents. Often the request entered by a user may not use the same topic relevant terms as the authors’ of the documents. One potential approach to address problems of query-document term mismatch is document expansion to include additional topically relevant indexing ter...

purpose: libraries and information centers as information storage and retrieval systems can develop with the adoption of cybernetics rules. this paper discusses system dynamics, control, feedback, and other cybernetic concepts especially in information storage and retrieval systems. methodology: this study is a review intending to find what cybernetics and lis have in common especially in the f...

In this paper, we present our English-Chinese Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) system. We focus our attention on finding effective translation equivalents between English and Chinese, and improving the performance of Chinese IR. On English-Chinese CLIR, we adopt query translation as the dominant strategy, and utilize English-Chinese bilingual dictionary as the important knowledge res...

The main research in the area of image databases addresses the improvement of retrieval quality and the speedup of the query processing. A number of image retrieval systems reached meanwhile a level, where these are used in real-world applications and thus create new demands. In particular dealing with a large, simultaneous number of users and queries requires concepts for resource management, ...

Current approaches to cross-language document retrieval and categorization are based on discriminative methods which represent documents in a low-dimensional vector space. In this paper we propose a shift from the supervised to the knowledge-based paradigm and provide a document similarity measure which draws on BabelNet, a large multilingual knowledge resource. Our experiments show state-of-th...

The ocean is mitigating global warming by absorbing large amounts of excess carbon dioxide from human activities. To quantify and monitor the sink, we need a state-of-the-art data resource that makes submission retrieval machine-compatible efficient.

The first year of TREC Genomics Track featured two tasks: ad hoc retrieval and information extraction. Both tasks centered around the Gene Reference into Function (GeneRIF) resource of the National Library of Medicine, which was used as both pseudorelevance judgments for ad hoc document retrieval as well as target text for information extraction. The track attracted 29 groups who participated i...
