This book navigates the intricate landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) integration, exploring its ethical dimensions and interdisciplinary engagements. Spanning sectors such as engineering, health care, robotics, industry, law, economics, education, transportation, and multimedia, it transcends mere technicalities. Embracing a multidisciplinary approach, the book sheds light on AI's transformative potential and practical implications. By blending theoretical underpinnings with real-world case studies, it offers a nuanced understanding of AI and its applications. Covering machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, data analytics, and robotics and control, it equips researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts with the tools to navigate the evolving AI landscape responsibly.
This book offers readers a comprehensive guide to the evolution of the database field from its earliest stages up to the present—and from classical relational database management systems to the current Big Data metaphor. In particular, it gathers the most significant research from the Italian database community that had relevant intersections with international projects. Big Data technology is currently dominating both the market and research. The book provides readers with a broad overview of key research efforts in modelling, querying and analysing data, which, over the last few decades, have became massive and heterogeneous areas.
This volume celebrates the twentieth anniversary of CLEF - the Cross-Language Evaluation Forum for the first ten years, and the Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum since – and traces its evolution over these first two decades. CLEF’s main mission is to promote research, innovation and development of information retrieval (IR) systems by anticipating trends in information management in order to stimulate advances in the field of IR system experimentation and evaluation. The book is divided into six parts. Parts I and II provide background and context, with the first part explaining what is meant by experimental evaluation and the underlying theory, and describing how this has been...
The rapidly growing volume of available digital documents of various formats and the possibility to access these through Internet-based technologies, have led to the necessity to develop solid methods to properly organize and structure documents in large digital libraries and repositories. Due to the extremely large volumes of documents and to their unstructured form, most of the research efforts in this direction are dedicated to automatically infer structure and schemas that can help to better organize huge collections of documents and data. This book covers the latest advances in structure inference in heterogeneous collections of documents and data. The book brings a comprehensive view o...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the workshops held at the 29th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Digital Libraries, TPDL 2025, which took place in Tampere, Finland, during September 23-26, 2025. The 20 short papers, 8 Demo papers and 9 workshop papers included in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 103 paper submissions (52 full papers, 40 short papers and 11demos). TPDL has established itself as an important international forum focused on digital libraries and associated technical, practical, and social issues.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 9th Italian Research Conference on Digital Libraries, held in Rome, Italy, in January/February 2013. The 18 full papers presented together with an invited paper and a panel paper were selected from extended versions of the presentations given at the conference. The papers then went through an additional round of reviewing and revision after the event. The papers are organized in topical sections on information access; Digital Library (DL) architecture; DL projects; semantics and DLs; models and evaluation for DLs; DL applications; discussing DL perspectives.
