Information Privacy and Appraisal Functions in Retrieval Systems

Prof. Javed Mostafa, Indiana University

ABSTRACT

Few web based IR systems today support information privacy and appraisal

functions even though justifications for supporting such functions are

rather clear. Using consumer health information delivery as a context,

challenges associated protecting privacy and determining information

quality (i.e., with appraisal functions) will be explored. A system's

architecture, related techniques and algorithms and a prototype system

implementation will be discussed.
