*Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC)* *Indian* *Statistical* *Institute, Bangalore Centre* 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 *Seminar-06* *(2022-2024)* *Title* *- **The Art and Science of Organizing: Unveiling the Power of Taxonomy* *Coordinator: **Dr.* *Biswanath Dutta* *Speaker: **Subhayan Chakraborty* *Abstract* Organizing our environment is the ultimate life strategy – transforming disorder into order, making each day effortless. It involves the skills and knowledge of grouping similar items together and maintaining order by allocating distinct spaces for diverse elements. Taxonomy aids in organizing information in a modern approach. From one perspective, the taxonomy task involving entities' naming and arrangement can be seen as an age-old craft. Alternatively, it can be viewed as a distinctly contemporary undertaking, evolving with increased complexity as organizations and human societies embrace higher information intensity. This seminar explores four basic questions regarding Taxonomy, i.e., What is Taxonomy as a whole, why do we need Taxonomies, how it can be implemented in modern information organization and retrieval, and who can potentially play roles as Taxonomists? *Date: **12/10/2023 (Thursday)* *Time:* *2 p.m.* *Venue:* *DR**TC* *Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore* *All are cordially invited* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

DRTC Student Seminar 05
by amit tiwari 03 Oct '23

03 Oct '23

Dear All, The fifth seminar in the DRTC student seminar series 2023 will be held on October 5th, 2023. The seminar title is *"Precision and Power: Semantic Search in Modern Information Retrieval."* The seminar will be presented by Mr. Shubham Mishra (MSLIS (2022-24)). The additional information and abstract are as follows: *DRTC Student Seminar 05* *Title:* Precision and Power: Semantic Search in Modern Information Retrieval *Abstract* The field of LIS is undergoing a significant transformation with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). Traditional keyword-based search techniques are giving way to more advanced and intuitive approaches, with semantic search emerging as a frontrunner. Semantic search is a paradigm shift from the rigid and often imprecise keyword-based searches of the past. It leverages the power of NLP to understand the context, intent, and meaning behind user queries, enabling a more natural and conversational interaction with information resources. Ontology and knowledge graphs play a pivotal role by organizing and connecting information in a structured and meaningful manner. The seminar delves into the mechanics of semantic search, showcasing how it enhances the accuracy and relevance of search results while reducing the cognitive load on users. Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Speaker: Shubham Mishra Date: 05.10.2023 (Thursday) Time: 14:00 hrs. Venue: DRTC Class Room, (Room No-G-16), Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC), Indian Statistical Institute, 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post, Bangalore, 560059 All are cordially invited. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
