QUARTZ (Quantum Information Access and Retrieval Theory) is an Innovative Training Network (ITN) that aims to educate its Early Stage Researchers to adopt a novel theoretically and empirically motivated approach to Information Access and Retrieval (IAR) based on the quantum mechanical framework that gives up the notions of unimodal features and classical ranking models disconnected from context. Watch our video .
The current state of the art of IAR is not sufficient to address the challenges of a dynamic, adaptive and context-aware user-machine interaction and to make a major breakthrough in the overall effectiveness of retrieval systems, and that a genuine theoretical breakthrough is on the contrary necessary.
We believe that this breakthrough can be provided by quantum theory which can integrate abstract vector spaces, probability spaces and logic in a single theoretical framework which extend and generalize the classical vector, probability and logic spaces utilised in IAR.
