Search Timelines: Contextualized search history in support of exploratory search
The timespan over which exploratory searching can occur, as well as the scope and volume of the search activities undertaken, can make it difficult for searchers to remember key details about their complex search tasks. These difficulties are present both during a single search session and when …

Improving search quality of the Google search appliance
… on the ranking function of the Google Search Appliance to improve search quality. An evolutionary computation framework is implemented and applied to optimize various parameter settings of the ranking function. We evaluate the importance of IDF in the ranking function and achieve small …

Salient Search
… algorithms employ a constant-bounded local search to plan a single move at a time. However they need multiple trials to converge on an optimal solution. More recent hierarchical approaches produce good results after a single trial, but rely on extensive pre-processing, limiting their use in …

Multimarket Search
The extensive literature on searching for price information deals almost exclusively with the search for the price of a single good. Since consumers would like to maximize the utility of consumption, a more general problem than minimizing the price of one good, search theory should consider the …

Smart Image Search System Using Personalized Semantic Search Method
… numbers of information on the internet nowadays, search technologies are widely used in various fields. Achieving the most relevant search result for the users becomes a big challenge now. While the traditional semantic search technologies seem to achieve the most relevant search result, however, …

Object search: supporting structured queries in web search engines
… may include her name, university, and research interests. Both types of pages may include additional ambiguous information. General search engines (GSEs) do not support queries over these types of data because they ignore the web document semantics. Conversely, describing requisite …

Myopic search plans
Different strategies can be used to search for a moving object. If the searcher's action at each time unit maximizes his chances of immediate detection, his strategy is said to be myopic. If, however, the searcher seeks to allocate search effort to maximize the probability of detecting the target …

Exploro search agent
… of information. Navigating through this huge search space successfully is not a trivial task regardless of the user's search skill. In this dissertation we describe Exploro, a browser-side software agent that aids the user's textual and pictorial information retrieval needs. Exploro aids the …

Probabilistic Trans-Algorithmic Search
… we propose a Probabilistic Trans-Algorithmic Search (PTAS) framework which leverages multiple optimization search algorithms in an iterative manner. PTAS applies a search algorithm to determine how to best distribute available experiment budget among multiple optimization search algorithms. It …

In search of self
I am a hunter and gatherer of forgotten and discarded objects I find on the side of the road, in dumpsters or in empty fields. In the studio, these materials are reprocessed and reconstituted, becoming metaphorical vehicles to communicate how life and the world impact me. The pursuit of materials …
