Presentation from Prof. Dr. Maarten de Rijke, Professor of Information Retrieval at the University of Amsterdam, at Textkernel's Intelligent Machines and the Future of Recruitment on June 2nd in Amsterdam.
Many information needs concern people. Effective retrieval methods for people search require effective representation, discovery and presentation methods. In this presentation Maarten de Rijke surveys recent entity retrieval methods, recent methods for discovering aspects of entities, and emerging ideas to blend the outcomes of such methods as part of mixed initiative conversational scenarios, where the search engine does not just answer questions but explores options and even generates questions to help a searcher improve their effectiveness.
