Web link analysis has proven to be a significant enhancement for quality based web search. Most existing links can be classified into two categories: intra-type links (e.g., web hyperlinks), which represent the relationship of data objects within a homogeneous ...

This work discusses the problem of generating association rules from a set of transactions in a relational database, taking performance and accuracy of found results as the essential aspects for comparing association mining algorithms. We do a critical ...

Keyword3 generation for search engine advertising is an important problem for sponsored search or paidplacement advertising. A recent strategy in this area is bidding on nonobvious yet relevant words, which are economically more viable. Targeting many ...

Similarity search is a crucial task in multimedia retrieval and data mining. Most existing work has modelled this problem as the nearest neighbor (NN) problem, which considers the distance between the query object and the data objects over a fixed set ...

Domain expertise can have an important influence on how people search. In this poster we present findings from a log-based study into how medical domain experts search the Web for information related to their expertise, as compared with non-experts. ...

The World Wide Web has now become a humongous archive of various contents. The inordinate amount of information found on the web presents a challenge to deliver right information to the right users. On one hand, the abundant information is freely accessible ...

This paper investigates whether a machine can automatically learn the task of finding, within a large collection of candidate responses, the answers to questions. The learning process consists of inspecting a collection of answered questions and characterizing ...

File management includes the functions of file creation, file maintenance, data retrieval, sorting, and report preparation. These functions have been developed both individually and in combination. To meet the demand for these functions, many significant ...

The paper describes the capabilities that should be expected of intelligent Web search tools in order to respond properly to user's information retrieval needs. The tools fall generally into three different categories: general purpose search engines, ...

Information overload is a problem at an individual and a corporate level. Many solutions have been proposed, including knowledge management, data warehouses, service directories and digital libraries. The semantic Web aims to unify many of these approaches ...

Glycans, or carbohydrate sugar chains, which play a number of important roles in the development and functioning of multicellular organisms, can be regarded as labeled ordered trees. A recent increase in the documentation of glycan structures, especially ...

During visual analysis, users must often connect insights discovered at various points of time to understand implicit relations within their analysis. This process is often called "connecting the dots." In this paper, we describe an algorithm to recommend ...

Information Requirement Elicitation (IRE) is essential in wireless web service to elicit information requirements through interactive choice prompts. We present a design of a high-level user interface for IRE, in the context of ¿banking database queries¿ ...

In this article, we present a new approach to page ranking. The page rank of a collection of Web pages can be represented in a parameterized model, and the user requirements can be represented by a set of constraints. For a particular parameterization, ...

Since the Web consists of documents in various domains or genres, methods used for Cross-Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) of Web documents should be independent of a particular domain. In this paper, we propose a CLIR method that uses Web directories ...

During the fall 2001 semester 15 first-year undergraduates were interviewed about their information-seeking behavior. Undergraduates completed a short-answer questionnaire, the Measure of Epistemological Reflection, measuring their epistemological beliefs ...
