    2019, 3 (2): 21-32.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.2096-3467.2018.0497
    Abstract   HTML ( 8 PDF(536KB) ( 409 )  

    [Objective] This study tries to generate personalized contents from cross-domain resources based on the relationship among online tags. [Methods] First, we proposed a cross-domain resource recommendation model. Then, we identified tags appropriate for cross-domain recommendations. Third, we combined the DBSCAN algorithm with the tag vector to obtain the initial recommendation candidates. Finally, we used the TF-IDF algorithm along with the personalized tags to improve the initial list. [Results] The recall, precision, and F-measure of the resource-based recommendation method were 0.82, 0.75, and 0.78. The recall, precision, and F-measure of the user tag based recommendation method were 0.80, 0.74, and 0.77. Our results were strongly correlated to users’ interests. [Limitations] The number of tags for the initial recommendation candidates was small, which could not fully represent the resources. It is difficult to collect tags for the second round recommendation. [Conclusions] Once tags from different domains are related to each other, we can use them to recommend contents from cross-domain resources.

    Sisi Gui,Xiaojuan Zhang,Xin Wang
    2019, 3 (2): 79-89.  DOI: 10.11925/infotech.2096-3467.2018.0449
    Abstract   HTML ( 2 PDF(706KB) ( 147 )  

    [Objective] This paper aims to find better alt-metrics for automatically rating query ambiguity. [Methods] First, we chose several existing auto-metrics based on documents, users and queries. Then, we modified one of them with query category occurences. Finally, we examined the relationship between the modified alt-metrics and other automatic or human rating metrics. Their correlations were tested with Pearson and symmetric AP correlation coefficients. Their degrees of agreement were tested with macro average accuracy and macro average F1. [Results] The proposed method showed significant relationship with human rating, and achieved F1 of 0.623 and accuracy of 0.707. [Limitations] Only examined the proposed model with data from online directories.[Conclusions] Automatic rating metrics for query ambuiguity can hardly be replaced by other automatic counterparts. Considering the occurences of top-level categories for each query could improve the degrees of agreement for automatic metrics. Compared to the exisiting automatic metrics, the proposed method can be used to replace the human metrics for query ambiguity.
