Current Challenges in Patent Information Retrieval (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 2017): Mihai Lupu, Katja Mayer, Noriko Kando, Anthony J.... Current Challenges in Patent Information Retrieval (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 2017)
Mihai Lupu, Katja Mayer, Noriko Kando, Anthony J. Trippe
R4,630 Discovery Miles 46 300 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This second edition provides a systematic introduction to the work and views of the emerging patent-search research and innovation communities as well as an overview of what has been achieved and, perhaps even more importantly, of what remains to be achieved. It revises many of the contributions of the first edition and adds a significant number of new ones. The first part "Introduction to Patent Searching" includes two overview chapters on the peculiarities of patent searching and on contemporary search technology respectively, and thus sets the scene for the subsequent parts. The second part on "Evaluating Patent Retrieval" then begins with two chapters dedicated to patent evaluation campaigns, followed by two chapters discussing complementary issues from the perspective of patent searchers and from the perspective of related domains, notably legal search. "High Recall Search" includes four completely new chapters dealing with the issue of finding only the relevant documents in a reasonable time span. The last (and with six papers the largest) part on "Special Topics in Patent Information Retrieval" covers a large spectrum of research in the patent field, from classification and image processing to translation. Lastly, the book is completed by an outlook on open issues and future research. Several of the chapters have been jointly written by intellectual property and information retrieval experts. However, members of both communities with a background different to that of the primary author have reviewed the chapters, making the book accessible to both the patent search community and to the information retrieval research community. It also not only offers the latest findings for academic researchers, but is also a valuable resource for IP professionals wanting to learn about current IR approaches in the patent domain.

Peer-to-Peer Computing - Principles and Applications (Hardcover, 2010 ed.): Quang Hieu  Vu, Mihai Lupu, Beng Chin Ooi Peer-to-Peer Computing - Principles and Applications (Hardcover, 2010 ed.)
Quang Hieu Vu, Mihai Lupu, Beng Chin Ooi
R2,980 Discovery Miles 29 800 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology, or peer computing, is a paradigm that is viewed as a potential technology for redesigning distributed architectures and, consequently, distributed processing. Yet the scale and dynamism that characterize P2P systems demand that we reexamine traditional distributed technologies. A paradigm shift that includes self-reorganization, adaptation and resilience is called for. On the other hand, the increased computational power of such networks opens up completely new applications, such as in digital content sharing, scientific computation, gaming, or collaborative work environments.

In this book, Vu, Lupu and Ooi present the technical challenges offered by P2P systems, and the means that have been proposed to address them. They provide a thorough and comprehensive review of recent advances on routing and discovery methods; load balancing and replication techniques; security, accountability and anonymity, as well as trust and reputation schemes; programming models and P2P systems and projects. Besides surveying existing methods and systems, they also compare and evaluate some of the more promising schemes.

The need for such a book is evident. It provides a single source for practitioners, researchers and students on the state of the art. For practitioners, this book explains best practice, guiding selection of appropriate techniques for each application. For researchers, this book provides a foundation for the development of new and more effective methods. For students, it is an overview of the wide range of advanced techniques for realizing effective P2P systems, and it can easily be used as a text for an advanced course on Peer-to-Peer Computing and Technologies, or as a companion text for courses on various subjects, such as distributed systems, and grid and cluster computing.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 6th International Information Retrieval Facility Conference, IRFC 2013, held in Limassol, Cyprus, October 2013.

The 8 papers presented together with 2 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 16 high-quality submissions. IRF conferences wish to bring young researchers into contact with industry at an early stage. This sixth conference aimed to tackle four complementary research areas: information retrieval, machine translations for search solutions, and interactive information access.

Patent Retrieval (Paperback): Mihai Lupu, Allan Hanbury Patent Retrieval (Paperback)
Mihai Lupu, Allan Hanbury
R1,693 Discovery Miles 16 930 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Intellectual property and the patent system in particular have garnered a lot of attention, even in the public media, over the last few years. This monograph is not concerned with any of the controversial issues regarding the patent system itself but it does examine a very real and growing problem: searching for innovation. The target collection for this task does not consist of patent documents only, but it is in these documents that the main difference is found compared to web or news information retrieval. In addition, the issue of patent search implies a particular user model and search process model. Patent Retrieval addresses the question of how research and technology in the field of Information Retrieval assists or even changes the processes of patent search. It is a survey of work done on patent data in relation to Information Retrieval in the last 20 to 25 years. It explains the sources of difficulty and the existing document processing and retrieval methods of the domain, and provides a motivation for further research in the area. Patent Retrieval is an ideal reference for Information Retrieval researchers interested in the patent domain and for patent information professionals.

Credibility in Information Retrieval (Paperback): Alexandru L. Ginsca, Adrian Popescu, Mihai Lupu Credibility in Information Retrieval (Paperback)

Credibility in Information Retrieval presents a detailed analysis of existing credibility models from different information seeking research areas, with a focus on the Web and its pervasive social component. It shows that there is a very rich body of work pertaining to different aspects and interpretations of credibility, particularly for different types of textual content (for example, Web sites, blogs, tweets), but also for other modalities (such as videos, images, audio) and topics (such as health care). This book defines the limits of credibility with respect to digital information access systems, providing the reader with an organized and comprehensive reference guide to the state of the art and the problems at hand. As an additional help to the reader, an appendix lists the existing test collections that cater specifically to some aspect of credibility.
