信息检索领域主题研究——基于SIGIR邮件列表和会议论文的比较研究

Research on the Subject of Information Retrieval: A Comparative Study Based on SIGIR Mailing List and Conference Papers

传统学科主题研究主要基于学术文本题录数据,研究对象单一。本文以SIGIR(Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval)邮件列表为切入点分别构建SIGIR邮件列表数据集和同期会议论文数据集,并在两个数据集的基础上对信息检索的主题结构和主题演化进行对比分析。研究发现,信息检索领域存在研究内容不断深入、研究方法不断增多和核心主题逐渐分裂的规律;同时还发现,SIGIR邮件列表研究主题较会议论文而言,在时序上存在一定的"领先性",通过该研究旨在揭示SIGIR邮件列表在信息检索领域的学术价值。

Traditional discipline topic research is mainly based on the scholar papers,but the research object is too stereotyped.In this paper,the SIGIR mailing list dataset and the conference paper dataset are constructed with the SIGIR mailing list as the starting point,and the discipline topic structure and discipline topic evolution of information retrieval are compared and analyzed in two datasets respectively.We found that the research content of information retrieval is deepening,and the research methods continue to flourish,and the core research topics are splitting gradually,at the same time,we found that the SIGIR mailing list’s research topics keep ahead than conference papers’.The academic value of the SIGIR mailing list in the discipline topic research is revealed.
