Title:Neural Models for Full Text Search: Could the Improvements Add Up?
Abstract: Neural word embeddings and deep neural networks may yet give us worthwhile
performance gains on standard IR tasks such as TREC ad hoc, and become a
standard part of the IR toolkit. On the other hand, improvements may not be
large enough or reliable enough, and the approach may fail. As a research
community, our progress in the area may be limited by a lack of large-scale
training data. We also need to apply our most rigorous tests, such as blind
testing at TREC. This talk will cover some recent progress in neural models for
full text search, describe the training data requirements, and discuss what it
would take to really prove that the neural models are worthwhile.
Title: Time-Critical Social Mobilization
Abstract:This talk explores the physical and behavioral limits of
crowds-assembly for problem solving, by following a number of real-world
experiments where we utilized social media to mobilize the masses in tasks of
unprecedented complexity. From finding red weather balloons to locating people
in distant cities, to reconstructing shredded documents, the power of
crowdsourcing is real, but so are exploitation, sabotage, and hidden biases
that undermine the power of crowds.
