Information Access in the Era of Generative AI (The Information Retrieval Series #51)
by Ryen W. White Chirag ShahGenerative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has emerged as a groundbreaking technology that promises to revolutionize many industries as well as people’s personal and professional lives. This book discusses GenAI and its role in information access - often referred to as Generative Information Retrieval (GenIR) - or more broadly, information interaction. The role of GenAI in information access is complex and dynamic, with many dimensions. To address this, following a brief introduction to GenAI and GenIR, the remainder of the book provides eight chapters, each targeting a different dimension or sub-topic. These cover foundations of GenIR, interactions with GenIR systems, adapting them to users, tasks, and scenarios, improving them based on user feedback, GenIR evaluation, the sociotechnical implications of GenAI for information access, recommendations within GenIR, and the future of information access with GenIR. The book is targeted at graduate students and researchers interested in issues of information retrieval, access, and interactions, as well as applications of GenAI in various informational contexts. While some of the parts assume prior background in IR or AI, most others do not, making this book suitable for adoption in various classes as a primary source or as a supplementary material.
Information Activism: A Queer History of Lesbian Media Technologies (Sign, Storage, Transmission)
by Cait McKinneyFor decades, lesbian feminists across the United States and Canada have created information to build movements and survive in a world that doesn't want them. In Information Activism Cait McKinney traces how these women developed communication networks, databases, and digital archives that formed the foundation for their work. Often learning on the fly and using everything from index cards to computers, these activists brought people and their visions of justice together to organize, store, and provide access to information. Focusing on the transition from paper to digital-based archival techniques from the 1970s to the present, McKinney shows how media technologies animate the collective and unspectacular labor that sustains social movements, including their antiracist and trans-inclusive endeavors. By bringing sexuality studies to bear on media history, McKinney demonstrates how groups with precarious access to control over information create their own innovative and resourceful techniques for generating and sharing knowledge.

Information Behavior
by Amanda SpinkInformation behavior has emerged as an important aspect of human life, however our knowledge and understanding of it is incomplete and underdeveloped scientifically. Research on the topic is largely contemporary in focus and has generally not incorporated results from other disciplines. In this monograph Spink provides a new understanding of information behavior by incorporating related findings, theories and models from social sciences, psychology and cognition. In her presentation, she argues that information behavior is an important instinctive sociocognitive ability that can only be fully understood with a highly interdisciplinary approach. The leitmotivs of her examination are three important research questions: First, what is the evolutionary, biological and developmental nature of information behavior? Second, what is the role of instinct versus environment in shaping information behavior? And, third, how have information behavior capabilities evolved and developed over time? Written for researchers in information science as well as social and cognitive sciences, Spink's controversial text lays the foundation for a new interdisciplinary theoretical perspective on information behavior that will not only provide a more holistic framework for this field but will also impact those sciences, and thus also open up many new research directions.

Information Centric Networks: Architecture & Current Trends (Practical Networking)
by Hiren Kumar Sarma Nitul Dutta Rajendrasinh Jadeja Krishna Delvadia Gheorghita GhineaThis book aimed at bringing an insight to the ICN network, particularly various architectures, issues and challenges in the new networking paradigm. The book starts with an introduction to the new promising concept of ICN and its origin along with the reason behind this interesting innovation. Different architectures proposed so far in support of implementing the ICN is also discussed in details. Few of the challenges of ICN implementation are enlisted as caching, naming, routing, and security. Each of these challenges with recent development is covered in individual chapters. Moreover, integration of current trends in communication and computing like software defined networking and machine learning approach are another area that this book is focusing. All these chapters highlight the recent developments reported in the area and also discusses the future trends. The book provides an overview of the recent developments in future internet technologies, bringing together the advancements that have been made in ICN. The book includes three unique chapters in the field of ICN research. The first, is the SDN framework for implementing ICN by decoupling data and control plan. The machine learning models for predicting future trends in network traffic and other management activities is another important chapter. This chapter includes the possibilities of using machine learning models for trend prediction to help network administrators and service providers to take care of unexpected sudden change traffic pattern and user behaviour. The third most vital chapter is the security issues in ICN. This chapter includes various facts that influences the security of ICN. Issues involved in naming, caching and routing are discussed separately along with few recent works in these areas. Various types of attacks in ICN are also part of the discussion. The stated book would be useful for researchers in this area and will work as a reference for future work. Moreover, the content of the book would also be suitable as a supporting material for undergraduate and graduate level courses in computer science and electrical engineering.
