商品描述

This open access book summarizes the first two decades of the NII Testbeds and Community for Information access Research (NTCIR). NTCIR is a series of evaluation forums run by a global team of researchers and hosted by the National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan. The book is unique in that it discusses not just what was done at NTCIR, but also how it was done and the impact it has achieved. For example, in some chapters the reader sees the early seeds of what eventually grew to be the search engines that provide access to content on the World Wide Web, today's smartphones that can tailor what they show to the needs of their owners, and the smart speakers that enrich our lives at home and on the move. We also get glimpses into how new search engines can be built for mathematical formulae, or for the digital record of a lived human life.

Key to the success of the NTCIR endeavor was early recognition that information access research is an empirical discipline and that evaluation therefore lay at the core of the enterprise. Evaluation is thus at the heart of each chapter in this book. They show, for example, how the recognition that some documents are more important than others has shaped thinking about evaluation design. The thirty-three contributors to this volume speak for the many hundreds of researchers from dozens of countries around the world who together shaped NTCIR as organizers and participants.

This book is suitable for researchers, practitioners, and students--anyone who wants to learn about past and present evaluation efforts in information retrieval, information access, and natural language processing, as well as those who want to participate in an evaluation task or even to design and organize one.

這本開放存取的書籍總結了NII測試床與資訊存取研究社群（NTCIR）前二十年的歷程。NTCIR是一系列由全球研究團隊運營的評估論壇，並由日本國立資訊學研究所（NII）主辦。這本書的獨特之處在於，它不僅討論了在NTCIR所做的工作，還探討了這些工作的執行方式及其所帶來的影響。例如，在某些章節中，讀者可以看到最早的種子，這些種子最終發展成為提供全球資訊網內容存取的搜尋引擎、能根據使用者需求調整顯示內容的智慧型手機，以及豐富我們在家中和移動中生活的智慧音箱。我們還可以窺見如何為數學公式或人類生活的數位記錄建立新的搜尋引擎。

NTCIR計畫成功的關鍵在於早期認識到資訊存取研究是一門實證學科，因此評估成為這項工作的核心。因此，評估是本書每一章的核心內容。例如，它們展示了某些文件比其他文件更重要的認知如何影響評估設計的思考。本書的三十三位貢獻者代表了來自世界各地數十個國家的數百位研究人員，他們共同塑造了NTCIR的組織者和參與者。

這本書適合研究人員、實務工作者和學生——任何想了解過去和現在在資訊檢索、資訊存取和自然語言處理方面的評估努力的人，以及那些希望參與評估任務或甚至設計和組織評估的人。

He joined Toshiba in 1993 and obtained a Ph.D. from Waseda in 2000. In 2000 and 2001, he was supervised by the late Karen Sparck Jones at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge, as a visiting researcher. In 2007, he joined NewsWatch, Inc. In 2009, he joined Microsoft Research Asia and the Waseda faculty in 2013. He was an associate dean (IT Strategies Division) there from 2015 to 2017, and department head from 2017 to 2019. He is the editor-in-chief of the Information Retrieval Journal (Springer) and an associate editor of ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS). He is a distinguished member of the ACM, and the current vice chair of the ACM SIGIR (July 2019 - June 2022).

Douglas W. Oard is a professor in the College of Information Studies (Maryland's iSchool) and the University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies (UMIACS). He holds affiliate appointments in Maryland's Computer Science Department and Maryland's Applied Mathematics, Statistics, and Scientific Computing program. He earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, and his B.A. and M.E.E. degrees in electrical engineering from Rice University. He is the current associate dean for faculty there. Previously, he was the associate dean for research in the College of Information Studies, and the director of the UMIACS Computational Linguistics and Information Processing (CLIP) laboratory.

Noriko Kando is a professor in the Information-Society Research Division of the National Institute of Informatics (NII), Tokyo, Japan, and also has been appointed as a professor in the Department of Informatics at the Graduate University of Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI), Japan. She initiated NTCIR in late 1997, an evaluation of information-access technologies such as information retrieval, summarization, question answering, and text mining, using various types of documents in East Asian languages and English, and has been a designer of various tasks and general co-chair of NTCIR. She received her Ph.D. from Keio University in library and information science in 1995 and has been teaching and conducting research at NII since 1994.
