Interaction and engagement for information research and learning with lifelogging devices

iSchools have their roots in the collection, storage, analysis, and dissemination of recorded materials of human activities. We foresee that sensing data via lifelogging devices (or Internet of Things at large) is taking over its significant part in the coming years. This session for interaction and engagement (SIE) is to create a living lab environment where participants can experience various lifelogging devices such as wearable video recorders, wearable cameras, or audio recorders. The intended audience includes information behavioural researchers (both qualitative and quantitative), multimedia and/or UI developers, students who want to improve their work/life experience, and educators who explores the ways to develop reflective learning programs using lifelogging data. In addition to paper presentations, we will have a round-table session to identify some of the core research directions regarding the development and use of lifelog devices in Information Research and Learning

The SPIRIT collection: an overview of a large web collection

A large scale collection of web pages has been essential for research in information retrieval and related areas. This paper provides an overview of a large web collection used in the SPIRIT project for the design and testing of spatially-aware retrieval systems. Several statistics are derived and presented to show the characteristics of the collection

NTCIR Lifelog: The First Test Collection for Lifelog Research

Test collections have a long history of supporting repeatable and comparable evaluation in Information Retrieval (IR). However, thus far, no shared test collection exists for IR systems that are designed to index and retrieve multimodal lifelog data. In this paper we introduce the first test col- lection for personal lifelog data. The requirements for such a test collection are motivated, the process of creating the test collection is described, along with an overview of the test collection and finally suggestions are given for possible applications of the test collection, which has been employed for the NTCIR12-Lifelog task

Enabling research and innovation beyond continental borders: a case for satellite events in evaluation campaigns

A satellite session of the NTCIR (Evaluation of Information Access Technologies) conference was experimentally held in Glasgow, allowing participants to present their work either in Europe or in Asia. This experience, designed to foster research and innovation across continental borders, was a great success

A privacy by design approach to lifelogging

Technologies that enable us to capture and publish data with ease are likely to pose new concerns about privacy of the individual. In this article we exam- ine the privacy implications of lifelogging, a new concept being explored by early adopters, which utilises wearable devices to generate a media rich archive of their life experience. The concept of privacy and the privacy implications of lifelogging are presented and discussed in terms of the four key actors in the lifelogging uni- verse. An initial privacy-aware lifelogging framework, based on the key principles of privacy by design is presented and motivated

Overview of NTCIR-12 Lifelog Task

In this paper we review the NTCIR12-Lifelog pilot task, which ran at NTCIR-12. We outline the test collection employed, along with the tasks, the eight submissions and the findings from this pilot task. We finish by suggesting future plans for the task
