Microblogging services, such as Twitter, are gaining interests as a means of sharing information in social networks. Numerous works have shown the potential of using Twitter messages (or tweets) in order to infer the existence and magnitude of real-world events. In the medical domain, there has been a surge in detecting public health related tweets for early warning so that a rapid response from health authorities can take place. In this paper, we present a temporal analytics tool for supporting a comparative, temporal analysis of disease outbreaks between Twitter and official sources, such as, World Health Organization (WHO) and ProMED-mail. We automatically extract and aggregate outbreak events from official outbreak reports in order to produce time series data used for the analysis. Our tool can support a correlation analysis and an understanding of the temporal developments of outbreak mentions in Twitter, based on comparisons with official sources.

APPROACH:
Temporal analytics tool for supporting a temporal, retrospective
analysis of infectious disease outbreaks mentioned in Twitter. Our
tool will help medical professionals to analyze disease outbreaks
with real-time, social media data. In addition, we provide a means of
comparing the temporal development of an outbreak event
mentioned in social media against official outbreak reports.
The functionalities of our temporal analytics tool include:
1) Automatically extract outbreak events from official health
reports from World Health Organization and ProMED-mail
2) Generate time series data of Twitter for corresponding real-
world outbreak events
3) Visualize/correlate the time series of Twitter vs. official sources
in different temporal granularities (daily, weekly, monthly) and
location granularities (country, continent, latitude, worldwide)
CHALLENGES:
• Automatically detecting public health-related events is crucially
important for early warning, which helps health authorities to
prevent and/or mitigate public health threats.
• Twitter messages (or tweets) can be used to infer the existence
and magnitude of real-world health-related events, for example:
(a) I have the mumps...am I alone?; or (2) #Cholera breaks out in
#Dadaab refugee camp in #Kenya http://t.co/....
• None of these previous work focused on an temporal analysis
of Twitter data for general diseases that are not only seasonal,
but also sporadic diseases that occur in low tweet-density areas
like Kenya or Bangladesh, as we perform in this work.

Recent work on analyzing query logs shows that a significant fraction of queries are temporal, i.e., relevancy is dependent on time, and temporal queries play an important role in many domains, e.g., digital libraries and document archives. Temporal queries can be divided into two types: 1) those with temporal criteria explicitly provided by users, and 2) those with no temporal criteria provided. In this paper, we deal with the latter type of queries, i.e., queries that comprise only keywords, and their relevant documents are associated to particular time periods not given by the queries. We propose a number of methods to determine the time of queries using temporal language models. After that, we show how to increase the retrieval effectiveness by using the determined time of queries to re-rank the search results. Through extensive experiments we show that our proposed approaches improve retrieval effectiveness.

Determining Time of Queries for Re-ranking Search Results

Query expansion of named entities can be employed in order to increase the retrieval effectiveness. A peculiarity of named entities compared to other vocabulary terms is that they are very dynamic in appearance, and synonym relationships between terms change with time. In this paper, we present an approach to extracting synonyms of named entities over time from the whole history of Wikipedia. In addition, we will use their temporal patterns as a feature in ranking and classifying them into two types, i.e., time-independent or time-dependent. Time-independent synonyms are invariant to time, while time-dependent synonyms are relevant to a particular time period, i.e., the synonym relationships change over time. Further, we describe how to make use of both types of synonyms to increase the retrieval effectiveness, i.e., query expansion with time-independent synonyms for an ordinary search, and query expansion with time-dependent synonyms for a search wrt. temporal criteria. Finally, through an evaluation based on TREC collections, we demonstrate how retrieval performance of queries consisting of named entities can be improved using our approach.

With the growing volumes of and reliance on digital content, there is a clear need for better information access solutions that keep relevant information accessible and usable in long-term. Inspired by the role of forgetting in the human brain, we envision a concept of managed forgetting for systematically dealing with information that progressively ceases in importance as well as with redundant information. Although inspired by human memory, managed forgetting is meant to complement rather than copy human remembering and forgetting. It can be regarded as functions of attention and significance dynamics relying on multi-faceted information assessment. This talk introduces our vision for managed forgetting on the conceptual level as part of an Integrated Cognitive Framework for Time-aware Information Access. We discuss relevant research and application aspects for managed forgetting. To this end, we present our first results and point out issues where further research is required.

A microblogging service like Twitter continues to surge in importance as a means of sharing information in social networks. In the medical domain, several works have shown the potential of detecting public health events (i.e., infectious disease outbreaks) using Twitter messages or tweets. Given its real-time nature, Twitter can enhance early outbreak warning for public health authorities in order that a rapid response can take place. Most of previous works on detecting outbreaks in Twitter simply analyze tweets matched disease names and/or locations of interests. However, the effectiveness of such method is limited for two main reasons. First, disease names are highly ambiguous, i.e., referring slangs or non health-related contexts. Second, the characteristics of infectious diseases are highly dynamic in time and place, namely, strongly time-dependent and vary greatly among different regions. In this paper, we propose to analyze the temporal diversity of tweets during the known periods of real-world outbreaks in order to gain insight into a temporary focus on specific events. More precisely, our objective is to understand whether the temporal diversity of tweets can be used as indicators of outbreak events, and to which extent. We employ an efficient algorithm based on sampling to compute the diversity statistics of tweets at particular time. To this end, we conduct experiments by correlating temporal diversity with the estimated event magnitude of 14 real-world outbreak events manually created as ground truth. Our analysis shows that correlation results are diverse among different outbreaks, which can reflect the characteristics (severity and duration) of outbreaks.

Dynamicity of Web and its implications on various components of search systems have taken a large attention in the last decade. This course, in the first place, aims to introduce students to the general and wide topic of Web evolution, and then pinpoint a number of issues that is related to temporal aspects of search and IR. We plan to start with an overview of seminal works that shed light on the evolution of Web within time. Next, we will focus on the impacts of this evolution on search and we will essentially focus on indexing of versioned document collections and time-aware retrieval and ranking. We will discuss evolution of search results and its effects on caching, and wrap up the course with a review of some recent approaches that aim to predict and search the future!

Dynamics of Web: Analysis and Implications from Search Perspective

Nattiya Kanhabua

This talk gives a survey of current approaches to searching the temporal web. In such a web collection, the contents are created and/or edited over time, and examples are web archives, news archives, blogs, micro-blogs, personal emails and enterprise documents. Unfortunately, traditional IR approaches based on term-matching only can give unsatisfactory results when searching the temporal web. The reason for this is multifold: 1) the collection is strongly time-dependent, i.e., with multiple versions of documents, 2) the contents of documents are about events happened at particular time periods, 3) the meanings of semantic annotations can change over time, and 4) a query representing an information need can be time-sensitive, so-called a temporal query. Several major challenges in searching the temporal web will be discussed, namely, 1) How to understand temporal search intent represented by time-sensitive queries? 2) How to handle the temporal dynamics of queries and documents? and 3) How to explicitly model temporal information in retrieval and ranking models? To this end, we will present current approaches to the addressed problems as well as outline the directions for future research.

Searching the Temporal Web: Challenges and Current Approaches

We estimate that nearly one third of news articles contain references to future events. While this information can prove crucial to understanding news stories and how events will develop for a given topic, there is currently no easy way to access this information. We propose a new task to address the problem of retrieving and ranking sentences that contain mentions to future events, which we call ranking related news predictions. In this paper, we formally define this task and propose a learning to rank approach based on 4 classes of features: term similarity, entity-based similarity, topic similarity, and temporal similarity. Through extensive evaluations using a corpus consisting of 1.8 millions news articles and 6,000 manually judged relevance pairs, we show that our approach is able to retrieve a significant number of relevant predictions related to a given topic.

Search result diversification is a common technique for tackling the problem of ambiguous and multi-faceted queries by maximizing query aspects or subtopics in a result list. In some special cases, subtopics associated to such queries can be temporally ambiguous, for instance, the query US Open is more likely to be targeting the tennis open in September, and the golf tournament in June. More precisely, users' search intent can be identified by the popularity of a subtopic with respect to the time where the query is issued. In this paper, we study search result diversification for time-sensitive queries, where the temporal dynamics of query subtopics are explicitly determined and modeled into result diversification. Unlike aforementioned work that, in general, considered only static subtopics, we leverage dynamic subtopics by analyzing two data sources (i.e., query logs and a document collection). By using these data sources, it provides the insights from different perspectives of how query subtopics change over time. Moreover, we propose novel time-aware diversification methods that leverage the identified dynamic subtopics. A key idea is to re-rank search results based on the freshness and popularity of subtopics. To this end, our experimental results show that the proposed methods can significantly improve the diversity and relevance effectiveness for time-sensitive queries in comparison with state-of-the-art methods.

In this talk, we present an event-based Epidemic Intelligence (EI) system framework leveraging social media data, e.g., Twitter messages (or tweets) for providing public health officials the necessary tools to survey and sift through relevant information, namely, disease outbreak events. There exist three main research challenges in gathering epidemic intelligence from social media streams: 1) dynamic classification to enable message filtering, 2) signal generation producing reliable warnings based on observed term frequency changes in the filtered messages, and 3) providing search and recommendation functionalities to domain experts, for better assessment of the potential outbreak threats associated with the generated signals. We outline possible approaches to solve these important challenges as well as discuss areas where further research is required. The objective is to provide guidance for similar endeavors, and to give prospective event-based Epidemic Intelligence system builders a more realistic view on the benefits and issues of social media stream analysis.

Taking the temporal dimension into account in searching, i.e., using time of content creation as part of the search condition, is now gaining increasingly interest. However, in the case of web search and web warehousing, the timestamps (time of creation or creation of contents) of web pages and documents found on the web are in general not known or cannot be trusted, and must be determined otherwise. In this paper, we describe approaches that enhance and increase the quality of existing techniques for determining timestamps based on a temporal language model. Through a number of experiments on temporal document collections we show how our new methods improve the accuracy of timestamping compared to the previous models.

We address major challenges in searching temporal document collections. In such collections, documents are created and/or edited over time. Examples of temporal document collections are web archives, news archives, blogs, personal emails and enterprise documents. Unfortunately, traditional IR approaches based on term-matching only can give unsatisfactory results when searching temporal document collections. The reason for this is twofold: the contents of documents are strongly time-dependent, i.e., documents are about events happened at particular time periods, and a query representing an information need can be time-dependent as well, i.e., a temporal query. Our contributions are different time-aware approaches within three topics in IR: content analysis, query analysis, and retrieval and ranking models. In particular, we aim at improving the retrieval effectiveness by 1) analyzing the contents of temporal document collections, 2) performing an analysis of temporal queries, and 3) explicitly modeling the time dimension into retrieval and ranking. Leveraging the time dimension in ranking can improve the retrieval effectiveness if information about the creation or publication time of documents is available. We analyze the contents of documents in order to determine the time of non-timestamped documents using temporal language models. We subsequently employ the temporal language models for determining the time of implicit temporal queries, and the determined time is used for re-ranking search results in order to improve the retrieval effectiveness. We study the effect of terminology changes over time and propose an approach to handling terminology changes using time-based synonyms. In addition, we propose different methods for predicting the effectiveness of temporal queries, so that a particular query enhancement technique can be performed to improve the overall performance. When the time dimension is incorporated into ranking, documents will be ranked according to both textual and temporal similarity. In this case, time uncertainty should also be taken into account. Thus, we propose a ranking model that considers the time uncertainty, and improve ranking by combining multiple features using learning-to-rank techniques. Through extensive evaluation, we show that our proposed time-aware approaches outperform traditional retrieval methods and improve the retrieval effectiveness in searching temporal document collections.

Time-aware Approaches to Information Retrieval

In a text retrieval community, many researchers have shown a good quality of searching a current snapshot of the Web. However, only a small number have demonstrated a good quality of searching a long-term archival domain, where documents are preserved for a long time, i.e., ten years or more. In such a domain, a search application is not only applicable for archivists or historians, but also in a context of national library and enterprise search (searching document repositories, emails, etc.). In the rest of this paper, we will explain three problems of searching document archives and propose possible approaches to solve these problems. Our main research question is: How to improve the quality of search in a document archive using temporal information?

Temporal Web Dynamics and Implications for Information Retrieval

Nattiya Kanhabua

Retrieval effectiveness of temporal queries can be improved by taking into account the time dimension. Existing temporal ranking models follow one of two main approaches: 1) a mixture model linearly combining textual similarity and temporal similarity, and 2) a probabilistic model generating a query from the textual and temporal part of document independently. In this paper, we propose a novel time-aware ranking model based on learning-to-rank techniques. We employ two classes of features for learning a ranking model, entity-based and temporal features, which are derived from annotation data. Entity-based features are aimed at capturing the semantic similarity between a query and a document, whereas temporal features measure the temporal similarity. Through extensive experiments we show that our ranking model significantly improves the retrieval effectiveness over existing time-aware ranking models.

The implementation of best practices for ensuring asset integrity is of paramount importance, as it safeguards our critical infrastructure and ensures operational excellence. One area of concern that demands our attention is Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC), a phenomenon that poses a significant threat to the integrity of assets by accelerating the corrosion rate, potentially leading to equipment failure before their expected lifetime. It is estimated that up to 40% of internal corrosion in oil and gas pipelines can be attributed to MIC. Dr. Mahendara P. Singh, Ph.D. shed light on Microbiologically Induced Corrosion (MIC), a phenomenon that poses a significant threat to the integrity of assets in Oil & Gas Industry. Dr. Singh is Advisor at Kinben Innovation Pvt. Ltd. He was the Chief Research Manager at the Industrial Biotechnology Department of Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., Research & Development Centre.
