Pictorial information retrieval
Journal of Documentation, 1995Co-Authors: Peter G. B. EnserAbstract:This paper surveys theoretical and practical issues associated with a particular type of information retrieval problem, namely that where the information need is pictorial. The paper is contextualised by the notion of a visually stimulated society, in which the ease of Record Creation and transmission in the visual medium is contrasted with the difficulty of gaining effective subject access to the world's stores of such Records. The technological developments which, in casting the visual image in electronic form, have contributed so significantly to its availability are reviewed briefly, as a prelude to the main thrust of the paper. Concentrating on still and moving pictorial forms of the visual image, the paper dwells on issues related to the subject indexing of pictorial material and discusses four models of pictorial information retrieval corresponding with permutations of the verbal and visual modes for the representation of picture content and of information need

advances in automatic meeting Record Creation and access
International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing, 2001Co-Authors: Alex Waibel, M Bett, Florian Metze, Klaus Ries, Thomas Schaaf, Tanja Schultz, Hagen Soltau, Klaus ZechnerAbstract:Oral communication is transient, but many important decisions, social contracts and fact findings are first carried out in an oral setup, documented in written form and later retrieved. At Carnegie Mellon University's Interactive Systems Laboratories we have been experimenting with the documentation of meetings. The paper summarizes part of the progress that we have made in this test bed, specifically on the question of automatic transcription using large vocabulary continuous speech recognition, information access using non-keyword based methods, summarization and user interfaces. The system is capable of automatically constructing a searchable and browsable audio-visual database of meetings and provide access to these Records.

IEEE SCC - A Real-Time Risk Assessment and Mitigation Engine Based on Dynamic Context
2011 IEEE International Conference on Services Computing, 2011Co-Authors: Sinem Guven, Catalin-mihai BarbuAbstract:Today, the risk of a service related change is typically assessed at change Record Creation time by a Change Requester either manually or through answering a fixed set of questions. Assessing the risk of a change, thus, relies heavily on one person's opinion. Further, in the questionnaire method, a fixed set of questions implies that the change context is assumed to be the same regardless of the type of change being raised, whereas in practice, no two changes are truly identical. Such deficiencies of the standard practice to assess risk of a change may, thus, result in inaccurate assessment, which can lead to unmitigated risks, ultimately materializing as failures. We present a novel Risk Engine, which takes into account a rich, dynamic change context to calculate and mitigate the risk of a service related change in real-time with increased accuracy and reliability. We describe the recipe for creating the Risk Engine along with several user studies we have conducted to justify our design choices at each step. Our initial pilot results reveal that it is possible to drive the number of change failures down significantly using our novel Risk Engine.

My Plan – a new meso to micro level building block to promote person-centred care planning
International Journal of Integrated Care, 2017Co-Authors: Sue Lukersmith, Dianne Croker, Liza Maclean, Robyn GleesonAbstract:Introduction: The Lifetime Care and Support Authority of NSW (LTC) funds the treatment, rehabilitation and care for people severely injured in motor vehicle crashes in New South Wales, Australia. Aligned to best practice and international standards for person-centred integrated care, LTC undertook a major change to the policy, planning and practice approach with those injured (participants in the scheme). Short description of practice change implemented: The revised approach - My Plan, was the major building block to promote person-centred planning and integrated care (1). My Plan enables the funder to ‘hear’ the participant/family’s voice and preferences through self-assessment, participant directed goal setting and prioritisation, monitoring, care plans and service selection. My Plan was developed after extensive research, co-design and piloting. The toolkit includes a suite of modules to support the planning facilitator (case manager) to plan with, and adjust for participant needs at any stage of their lifelong journey. Implementation resources were developed to train and support stakeholders to adopt the change and included internal/external champions, participant/provider on-line resources, eLearning modules, social media community of practice, face to face training, newsletters and meetings. Monitoring and evaluation continues using mixed methods. Aim and theory of change: The aim was to better engage and empower people in the co-Creation, integration and management of their cross-sector care, formal and informal supports, thereby enhancing their community participation and wellbeing. We derived seven key principles from broad theoretical concepts, which guided the development and design of My Plan. The concepts were person-centeredness, human rights, social inclusion, health and disability frameworks, integrated care, whole of life approaches, personal and social determinants, strength based approaches for recovery, self-management, supported decision making and evidence based practice. Target population and stakeholders: The initial target population were over 1,000 LTC adult/child participants (and their families) with a complex health condition of: traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, amputations, severe burns or blindness. Critical stakeholders were 300 approved planning facilitators (care/case managers), all LTC staff (particularly staff making funding decisions), treatment providers. Timeline: Development and pilot 2013-2015 Implementation 2015-2016 Monitoring and evaluation 2015 and continuing Highlights: (innovation, impact and outcomes) The monitoring and evaluation data suggests there is a major positive change to perceptions and understanding of participants, and to ways of working by case managers and LTC employees. Importantly participants and families have responded positively to the change with opportunities to co-create, plan, integrate and manage their care. Comments on Sustainability: There has been no significant impact on scheme costs as a result of the changes to planning. The approach and associated toolkit readily lends itself to digital Record Creation, archiving; individual and population monitoring; is easily shared and can be digitally modified to meet specific needs. Comments on transferability: LTC amalgamated with other groups delivering care to injured people in September 2015 and became icare (Insurance & Care NSW). At meso level My Plan was embedded in the organisation’s policy and systems, with continuing development work with internal staff and external (provider) at micro level practice. The approach has been extended to other parts of the organisation and people with other health conditions (work related injuries, dust diseases). Whilst issues arose with system and legislation differences, My Plan approach appears transferable to other jurisdictions. Anecdotally some case managers from other organisations are using the My Plan toolkit with people who have long term health conditions for care and service planning funded through other public or private sectors.
