This article presents Luppar, an Information Retrieval tool for closed collections of documents which uses a local distributional semantic model associated to each corpus. The system performs automatic query expansion using a combination of distributional semantic model and local context analysis and supports relevancy feedback. The performance of the system was evaluated in databases of different domains and presented results equal to or higher than those published in the literature.

This work proposes and evaluates an approach to query expansion in Information Retrieval based on Local Context Analysis using a Distributional Semantic Representation. In general, the approach performed better compared to that of query expansion using non-distributional, local or global techniques, running over datasets of different application domains.

IntroductionAntibiotics impregnated calcium sulfate (AI-CaSO4) is an innovative practice to ensure local diffusion of antibiotics especially in the treatment of prosthesis or medical implants infections. A recent introduction of AI-CaSO4 at CHU de Québec-Université Laval (CHU de Québec) was followed by a rapid increase in use and costs. A hospital-based health technology assessment (HTA) was then requested to assess the clinical relevance of AI-CaSO4 in surgical site infection (SSI) management.MethodsA systematic review of the effectiveness and adverse effects of AI-CaSO4 was performed in indexed databases and grey literature. The local context analysis included different methodologies: 1) interviews with pharmacists, surgeons and operating room managers, 2) data extraction from electronic patient records (EPR), 3) procurement database on CaSO4, and 4) interdisciplinary working group including orthopedic and vascular surgeons, pharmacists, infectiologists, and hospital managers.ResultsAvailable evidence suggest that AI-CaSO4 could contribute in the treatment of osteomyelitis whereas no conclusion can be drawn for other medical indications in both treatment and prevention of SSI. A review of 113 surgical procedures showed that AI-CaSO4 was rapidly adopted after only one year and used for various medical indications in neuromodulation, orthopedic and vascular surgery. Osteomyelitis treatment accounted for less than 3% of cases. AI-CaSO4 was mainly used in prevention of SSI (65%) and surgical revisions (74%). Furthermore, local safety issues were raised by a lack of standardization for the preparation and under recording of antibiotics use with AI-CaSO4.ConclusionsThe current state of knowledge does not support the widespread use AI-CaSO4 at CHU de Québec. This study highlights the importance of adapting HTA approach to the local context to influence decision-making especially in the context of innovating practice in order to insure the relevance, safety and sustainability of care.

Business History: complexity and comparisons. An overview of the last two centuries of business history around the world focusing on three variables: technology, the firm, and the local context. Analysis shows the continuous competition between various countries, from the United States and Japan to China and India, with new waves of technology that make it impossible to forecast history. Business history naturally leads to the larger field of economic history.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the use of inverse local context analysis (ILCA) to obtain data from limited accessible data sources. Design/methodology/approach The experimental results show that the method the authors proposed can obtain all retrieved documents from the limited accessible data source using the least number of queries. Findings The experimental results show that the method we proposed can obtain all retrieved documents from the limited accessible data source using the least number of queries. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper provides the first attempt to gather all the retrieved documents from limited accessible data source, and the efficiency and ease of implementation of the proposed solution make it feasible for practical applications. The method the authors proposed can also benefit the construction of web corpus.
