“…The realisation that one of the initial terms (fatigue) is ambiguous, and that searching for it yields irrelevant results would come when looking at the results after the first iteration and not be expressed in the initial query. This type of narrowing down of the search criteria and progressive specification of the information need through query reformulation is typical for modern information seeking strategies (Jansen et al, 2009).…”

In this paper we describe the different NLP techniques designed and used in collaboration between the CLLE-ERSS research laboratory and the CFH / Safety Data company to manage and analyse aviation incident reports. These reports are written every time anything abnormal occurs during a civil air flight. Although most of them relate routine problems, they are a valuable source of information about possible sources of greater danger. These texts are written in plain language, show a wide range of linguistic variation (telegraphic style overcrowded by acronyms or standard prose) and exist in different languages, even for a single company/country (although our main focus is on English and French). In addition to their variety, their sheer quantity (e.g. 600/month for a large airline company) clearly requires the use of advanced NLP and text mining techniques in order to extract useful information from them. Although this context and objectives seem to indicate that standard NLP techniques can be applied in a straightforward manner, innovative techniques are required to handle the specifics of aviation report text and the complex classification systems. We present several tools that aim at a better access to this data (classification and information retrieval), and help aviation safety experts in their analyses (data/text mining and interactive analysis).Some of these tools are currently in test or in use both at the national and international levels, by airline companies as well as by regulation authorities (DGAC 1 , EASA 2 , ICAO 3 ).

“…This sense of being served immediate results is a development trajectory that continues with autosuggest (and what was called Google Instant) as well as with the voice-activated search beginning with 'OK, Google'. Over the last 20 years, one of the subjects of related research has been how users interact with search engines, where some of the earliest studies, beginning in 1997, found that people were mostly only looking at the first few pages of results (Jansen and Spink, 2006;Jansen et al, 2009). Defaults of 10 results per page remained set, meaning glancing at more than 30 results would be extraordinary.…”

With Google marking its 20th year online, the piece provides a retrospective of cultural commentary and select works of Google art that have transformed the search engine into an object of critical interest. Taken up are artistic and cultural responses to Google by independent artists but also by cultural critics and technology writers, including the development of such evocative notions as the deep web, flickering man and filter bubble. Among the critiques that have taken shape in the works to be discussed here are objects and subjects brought into being by Google (such as 'spammy neighbourhoods'), Googlization, Google's information politics, its licensing (or what one is agreeing to when searching) as well as issues surrounding specific products such as Google Street View, as Google leaves the web, capturing more spaces to search.

“…Bien que les informations concernant l'utilisateur soient très incomplètes, les requêtes sont en ellesmêmes des traces de la diversité des modes d'expression qui sont utilisés au fil des recherches (Song et al, 2009 ;Jansen et al, 2009). La façon dont une requête a été reformulée, ou en tous cas (en l'absence d'information sur l'identité de l'utilisateur), les différentes manières dont un terme a été utilisé dans une série de requêtes, fournissent des indices sur la diversité des points de vue exprimés par l'utilisateur.…”
