The document discusses the reliability of results from corpus research and introduces a solution called GICR that provides automatic result analysis. GICR allows users to see statistics on search areas to check for bias or lack of homogeneity compared to the entire corpus by displaying metadata attributes like URLs, document IDs, author information, region, gender, and genre. It aims to address the problem that simply getting IPM and KWIC search results does not indicate if the results are biased by providing analysis directly in the interface.

1. Are the results of your corpus
research really reliable?
Getting automatic result analysis on
GICR.

2. Big Corpora Problem:
1. Billions of words, mostly coming from
social media
2. Getting just the IPM and search
results in KWIC format doesn’t tell
you if the results are biased
3. A lot of metatext attributes – URLs,
doc IDs, author IDs, region, gender,
genre etc. – all are potential source
of bias
Users need corpus tools to see all statistics of the
search area to check for homogeneity with the
whole corpus.

3. Our solution:
Search results analysis right in the interface!
