Dear Members,
We are happy to inform you that Ashoka University (NCR- Delhi / Sonepat-
Haryana) will be hosting the 7th edition of Library Technology Conclave –
LTC2023 during 4-6, Jan 2023.
Watching the new developments in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) domain
and its increasing relevance to the LIS and its user community, we are
happy to present the LTC2023 on a highly topical theme, *"*EVOLVING
LIBRARY ECOSYSTEM IN THE AI and MACHINE LEARNING* LANDSCAPE" .*
In academic campuses around the world, libraries pioneered and provided
leadership in the automation of functions and processes very early in the
late 60s and 70s of the last century. But somewhere, the LIS community
appears to have lagged behind in embracing machine learning (ML) in its
knowledge organization and management functions.
The ML bug is catching up now with LIS in a serious way leading to the
development of new tools based on ML and Deep Learning (DL) in areas
like semantic
search, voice-based search queries, recommender systems, automated
classification & indexing, knowledge graph generation, new citation metrics
models based on context-analysis, and so on.
There are many examples of how AI can improve or even transform
information discovery and library management functions like, reference
services, citation mapping, citation metrics, plagiarism checking,
classification and indexing, etc.
LTC2023 will be coming with many new interesting & innovative models of
presentations by researchers & library practitioners alike. Save the dates
and watch this space for more announcements and the launch of the conclave
website soon.
See you soon !
