    Effect of Time Constraint and Task Type on Search Experience
    Liu Chang, Zhang Lu
    2015, 31 (9): 1-8.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2015.09.01

    [Objective] This paper investigates the differences of users' search experience between two types of tasks, with and without time constraint, with the goal to understand how various contextual factors influence search behaviors and experience. [Methods] A user experiment is conducted, in which 40 undergraduate students participated, to search for two types of search tasks: Fact Finding (FF) and Information Understanding (IU), under two time conditions: with time constraint, and without time constraint. [Results] The results show that time constraint significantly shorten users' search time, writing time, and the amount of information produced in the notebook, and their new knowledge acquisition; in addition, users speed up the number of words produced in the documents. With respect to the task type effect, users' ratio of time on search and writing, the number of words produced on documents during search are not significantly influenced by task type, no matter whether there is time constraint or not. Very interestingly, when there is no time constraint, users spend longer time to complete the task, longer time on searching to accomplish IU tasks; however, there is no significant difference on the amount of information collected and the level of new knowledge acquisition. When there is time constraint, comparing with FF tasks, users collect more information but think they acquire lower level of new knowledge. [Limitations] This study is conducted in a lab environment, and the time constraint is manipulated by experimenters, which may not be the same as it is in real settings, so the results of this study may not be generalizable to various conditions. [Conclusions] This study has implications for understanding how time and search task type influence search behaviors for information search research.

    Gui Sisi, Lu Wei, Huang Shihao, Zhou Pengcheng
    2015, 31 (9): 9-16.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2015.09.02

    [Objective] User interest is not static and it changes dynamically as time goes by, this paper proposes a user interest prediction model based on topic model and multi-time function. [Methods] Generate user interests by topic model, and calculate the weights of each user interest at every time point by applying multi-time function in order to predict user interest at next time point. [Results] Compared with memory-based user profile model and multi-step user profile model, cosine similarity and Kullback-Leibler divergence of the experimental results on search engine log data provided by Sogou Lab show that this model can predict user interests more effectively. [Limitations] The proposed method is only tested on search engine log data provided by Sogou Lab, and it need further examination on other data sets. [Conclusions] It is more effective to take every time point of user history data into consideration for user interest prediction.

    2015, 31 (9): 17-25.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2015.09.03

    [Objective] Solve the problem which only use the length of online product review to measure the review depth. [Methods] In this paper, a metrics-model for online product review depth is proposed. Firstly, on the basis of analyzing the demand information of customers for making decision, the concept of review depth is defined and feature concept tree of product is introduced. Secondly, the metrics-model for measuring product review depth is presented according to the features of the product review from domain experts and the distribution of product features over feature concept tree of product. [Results] Empirical study demonstrates that the metrics-model is identical to the model for review helpfulness, and the result shows that the model is feasible. [Limitations] This paper does not involve the product usage scenario of consumers and the review depth measurement for experience products. [Conclusions] The metrics-model can measure product review depth more accurately.

    Xu Deshan, Li Hui, Zhang Yunliang
    2015, 31 (9): 31-37.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2015.09.05

    [Objective] Build an auto-indexing system by triple acquirement and NLP for Chinese scientific and technical literatures based on Ontology management and service platform. [Methods] Merging Ontology knowledge bases and vocabularies by Web services, the system can identify the terms and unlisted words through matching vocabulary and words combination, as well as link them with the triples in the knowledge bases for building a conceptual relational network. [Results] This system can process 86 articles per second with recall rate of 65% and precision rate of 69%. [Limitations] It takes a lot of time to match terms because no index is built. The performance of Chinese word segmentation and POS tagging are influenced by the noise data such as spaces, line break, and so on. [Conclusions] Data cleaning process and algorithm optimization of keywords selecting need continuous study for supporting the deep mining and enhancing the efficiency of the system.

    Wu Yingliang, Yao Huaidong, Li Cheng'an
    2015, 31 (9): 38-45.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2015.09.06

    [Objective] In traditional collaborative filtering algorithms, the issues such as data sparsity may make the quality of recommendation worse. This paper attempts to solve it by optimizing the recommendation mechanisms. [Methods] This paper uses cohesive subgroup analysis techniques to identify indirect trust relationship in trust networks, and combines with direct trust relationship to generate an integrated trust, which is used to calculate the user similarity in the new collaborative filtering recommendation algorithm. [Results] Experimental results show that the ultimate trust combining 35% direct and 65% indirect relationship can improve the accuracy of CF algorithms, and compared with only using direct trust relationship, the indirect trust relationship could not be ignored. [Limitations] When considering the indirect trust in the trust network, this paper ignores the impact of more intermediate nodes between two users. [Conclusions] Soft integration of indirect trust relationship can improve the recommendation accuracy of collaborative filtering algorithms.

    2015, 31 (9): 60-67.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.1003-3513.2015.09.09

    [Objective] Provide an alternative perspective for identifying influential authors. [Methods] This paper uses the weighted LeaderRank algorithm to measure author's impacts in coauthorship network. Respectively validates the effects of citations and the number of cooperation on sorting influential authors through different weighted algorithms. And base on the validation a new weighted algorithm named CW_LR is proposed by integrating these two factors. [Results] CW_LR algorithm is interrelated with citations, but compared with citations or other weighted algorithms, the result of CW_LR algorithm is more consistent with expert knowledge. [Limitations] This algorithm is tested in the informetrics research community, while further effectiveness validation in other research community is required. [Conclusions] The strength of cooperation and citation impact are considered at the same time in CW_LR algorithm, and this algorithm identifies the influential author more accurately from two dimensions.
