用户自然和社会属性对网络搜索中语言使用行为的影响

以用户的自然、社会属性对用户在搜索中使用检索语言的影响为研究对象,旨在对影响用户行为的因素作探索性研究。综合网络调查问卷的分析结果和用户参与对比实验法,得出性别、年龄、学历和专业教育对用户语言使用影响的结论。对于此问题的研究,有助于认清搜索过程的影响因素,进而可以以此建模,改善搜索引擎的服务质量。     

基于ontology的语义检索模型架构

目前的web信息检索中，存在着检索效率低下的问题，很难满足普通用户基于自然语言的检索要求，也不具备语义推理能力，无法实现智能化的检索。而源于知识工程和人工智能领域的本体理论和技术，能够很好地处理自然语言理解问题和具有基于语义的推理机制，因此成为改进传统信息检索方式的良好工具。本文就运用本体理论，在对目前的各种研究进行了调查以后，区别了几个关键的容易混淆的概念，然后提出了一个基于ontology的、web环境下的语义检索系统的结构模型。     

论网络环境下情报检索语言的发展趋势

本文论述了网络环境下采用自然语言是必然趋势,然而自然语言并不会成为网络环境下的唯一检索语言,自然语言和人工语言相结合才是发展的方向.参考文献8.     

情报检索语言研究的新领域

情报检索语言的发展面临现代化、理论方法综合化和集成化的新条件,研究新的语言模型,提高检索语言的表达、描述等功能是当前的重要研究课题,同时要具体研究数据库检索语言、网络检索语言、本体论和语义网检索语言。在所有这些领域里,检索语言的机器理解功能日益重要;为适应机器处理的环境,对它的逻辑推理能力的要求越来越高,知识建模功能与系统表达能力受到越来越多的重视。     

个性因素对用户信息源选择偏好的影响——基于对高校学生的实证研究

Methods for studying family visitors in art museums: A cross-disciplinary review of current research

This paper examines current trends in family studies research, details the methodological and topical perspectives that are emerging, and reflects on how these findings could be integrated to provide a more coherent approach to researching the leisure, learning and recreational aspects of family visitors to art museums. Research findings from disciplines such as sociology, ethnography, education, design and marketing are of interest to the field of visitor studies, and this paper contributes to the wider research agenda by providing an overview of family research methods from a range of other disciplines, as well as those used within visitor studies.Over the last decade, there has been a growth of research in family learning in science museums, leading to an emerging disciplinary matrix, whilst many aspects of family visits to art museums remain relatively unexplored. The paper discusses the problems of gathering meaningful data from adults and children in family groups, and concludes by suggesting that a challenge for art museums is to learn from what is happening in other areas of cultural research into families, and to develop a framework for research which builds on the methodological strengths and practical experience of robust studies.     

Two-stage statistical language models for text database selection

As the number and diversity of distributed Web databases on the Internet exponentially increase, it is difficult for user to know which databases are appropriate to search. Given database language models that describe the content of each database, database selection services can provide assistance in locating databases relevant to the information needs of users. In this paper, we propose a database selection approach based on statistical language modeling. The basic idea behind the approach is that, for databases that are categorized into a topic hierarchy, individual language models are estimated at different search stages, and then the databases are ranked by the similarity to the query according to the estimated language model. Two-stage smoothed language models are presented to circumvent inaccuracy due to word sparseness. Experimental results demonstrate that such a language modeling approach is competitive with current state-of-the-art database selection approaches.     

Hierarchical clustering of a Finnish newspaper article collection with graded relevance assessments

Search facilitated with agglomerative hierarchical clustering methods was studied in a collection of Finnish newspaper articles (N = 53,893). To allow quick experiments, clustering was applied to a sample (N = 5,000) that was reduced with principal components analysis. The dendrograms were heuristically cut to find an optimal partition, whose clusters were compared with each of the 30 queries to retrieve the best-matching cluster. The four-level relevance assessment was collapsed into a binary one by (A) considering all the relevant and (B) only the highly relevant documents relevant, respectively. Single linkage (SL) was the worst method. It created many tiny clusters, and, consequently, searches enabled with it had high precision and low recall. The complete linkage (CL), average linkage (AL), and Ward's methods (WM) returned reasonably-sized clusters typically of 18–32 documents. Their recall (A: 27–52%, B: 50–82%) and precision (A: 83–90%, B: 18–21%) was higher than and comparable to those of the SL clusters, respectively. The AL and WM clustering had 1–8% better effectiveness than nearest neighbor searching (NN), and SL and CL were 1–9% less efficient that NN. However, the differences were statistically insignificant. When evaluated with the liberal assessment A, the results suggest that the AL and WM clustering offer better retrieval ability than NN. Assessment B renders the AL and WM clustering better than NN, when recall is considered more important than precision. The results imply that collections in the highly inflectional and agglutinative languages, such as Finnish, may be clustered as the collections in English, provided that documents are appropriately preprocessed.
