智能信息检索研究范式的演进、反思与前瞻

Study on the Evolution of Intelligent Information Research Paradigms:Retrospect,Reflection and Prospect

随着人本AI重要性日益凸显,智能信息检索研究受到越来越多的关注。为更清晰地了解智能信息检索研究现状,文章着重分析智能信息检索研究范式的演进,揭示并反思其演进历程。采用主题分析法,分析183篇智能信息检索文献,归纳研究范式与主题,综述已有研究发现和成果,揭示发展现状,讨论发展前景。研究发现:智能信息检索研究存在“技术”“技术+用户”“人本”等3种研究范式。技术范式主要关注优化语料库和语义分析、信息分类和结果排序等,以提升检索精度。“技术+用户”范式聚焦通过优化个性化检索、信息安全、多媒体检索等技术,满足用户需求。人本范式主要探究人与系统的交互、人本系统设计以及技术伦理。未来,技术范式研究需突破传统信息检索技术研究目标的限制,规避AI技术应用风险,创新技术;“技术+用户”范式研究需向智能交互信息检索迈进,实现用户需求与技术的深度融合;人本范式相关研究潜力大,需聚焦体验和伦理,推进人本智能信息检索理论与实践的发展。

With the increasing importance of human-centered AI,researchers have paid more intention to intelligent information retrieval(IR).This paper makes a survey of current researches on intelligent IR,focusing on the evolution of intelligent IR research paradigm,and revealing its evolution course.By means of the thematic analysis method,and based on 183 intelligent IR papers,the research paradigms and topics are summarized.The result indicates that there are three paradigms of intelligent IR,i.e.,the technology-centered paradigm,the technology&user-centered paradigm and the human-centered paradigm.The technology-centered paradigm focuses on the optimization of corpus,semantic analysis,information classification,and result ranking,so as to improve the retrieval accuracy.The technology&user-centered paradigm focuses on meeting the needs of users by optimizing personalized retrieval,information security,multimodal retrieval and other technologies.The humancentered paradigm mainly explores the interaction between human and system,the design of human-centered system,and the ethics of technology.Based on such an analysis,it further discusses the future development of intelligent IR.It points out that the technology-centered paradigm needs to break through the limitation of traditional IR technology research objectives,avoid the application risk of AI technology,and innovate technology.The technology&user paradigm should advance to intelligent interactive IR,so as to realize the deep integration of user demand and technology development.The human-centered paradigm should focus on user experience and technological ethics,and work to realize the practice of human-centered intelligent IR.
