DRTC_Student Seminar 03_Enhancing Knowledge Organization and Information Retrieval with Retrieval-Augmented Generation
by Debanjali Bain 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC) Indian Statistical Institute 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 Seminar-3 (2023-2025) Title: “Enhancing Knowledge Organization and Information Retrieval with Retrieval-Augmented Generation” Speaker: Krishnapriya T R Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Abstract: Effective knowledge organization is the cornerstone of library management, enabling efficient access, retrieval, and preservation of vast amounts of information. In libraries, the structured arrangement of knowledge through classification systems, metadata, and indexing plays a critical role in ensuring that users can find relevant resources quickly and accurately. However, with the exponential growth of digital content, traditional methods face significant challenges in information retrieval (IR), including scalability, context relevance, and precision. This seminar will explore the importance of knowledge organization in libraries, focusing on how well-structured systems underpin the entire library ecosystem. It will also delve into the growing challenges in modern IR, such as handling unstructured data, managing large datasets, and providing personalized search experiences. To address these issues, we will introduce the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework as an innovative solution. RAG combines the power of retrieval-based methods with generative models to enhance IR by delivering contextually rich, accurate, and relevant information. The seminar will discuss practical applications of RAG in library settings, highlighting how this framework can transform traditional knowledge organization and retrieval processes to meet the evolving demands of the digital age. Date: 26/09/2024 (Thursday) Time: 3.30 pm Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore All are cordially invited!

DRTC_Student Seminar 02
by Nabina Khamaru 17 Sep '24

17 Sep '24

*Documentation Research & Training Centre (DRTC)* *Indian Statistical Institute* 8th Mile, Mysore Road, RVCE Post Bangalore, 560 059 *Seminar-02* *(2023-2025)* *Title: Exploring the potential of Big Data analytics with a case study in healthcare domain* *Coordinator: **Dr. Biswanath Dutta* *Speaker: **Pranay Ray* *Abstract* Today big data analytics has emerged as a powerful tool across various industries, offering the potential to unlock valuable insights and drive innovations. By analyzing vast amounts of structured and unstructured data from diverse sources, organizations can uncover patterns, trends, and correlations that were previously hidden. This data-driven approach enables more informed decision-making, enhances operational efficiency, and fosters the development of products and services. In the library and information science domain, big data plays a crucial role in transforming how libraries manage, analyze, and utilize large volumes of information. It includes enhanced cataloging and searchability, user behavior analysis, digital preservation and research and collaboration. The potential of big data analytics also extends to fields such as healthcare, finance, retail, and more, where it is transforming traditional practices. For example, in healthcare, big data analytics can improve patient care by enabling personalized treatment plans and predicting disease outbreaks. This exploration delves into how analytics can identify trends, optimize resource allocation, and personalize treatment plans, leading to more accurate diagnoses and better health outcomes. Through case studies and real-world examples, the seminar highlights the overall concept of big data, the big data analytics and the promising role of big data in revolutionizing libraries and healthcare systems by enabling more informed decision-making and enhancing the quality of care. *Date: 19**/9/2024 (Thursday)* *Time: 3**:30 p.m.* *Venue: **DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore* *All are cordially invited!*
