Previous issue date: 2008-04-07 / CNPq - Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Modern search engines use different strategies to improve the quality of their answers. An important strategy is to get an ordered list of documents based on lists produced by different sources of evidence. This work studies the use of a
evolutionary technique to generate good functions of combination of three different sources of evidence: the textual content of the documents, the connecting structures between the documents in a collection and the concatenation of anchor texts pointing to each document. The functions
Combination findings in this study were tested in two separate collections: the first contains queries and document a real Web search engine that contains some 12 million documents and the second is to LETOR reference collection, created to allow the
fair comparison between collating functions learning methods. The experiments indicate that the studied approach here is a practical and effective alternative to combining different sources of evidence in a single list of answers. We also checked
different query classes require different functions combination of sources of evidence and show that our approach is feasible to identify good features. / Máquinas de busca modernas utilizam diferentes estratégias para melhorar a qualidade de suas respostas. Uma estratégia importante é obter uma única lista ordenada de documentos baseada em listas produzidas por diferentes fontes de evidência. Este trabalho estuda o uso de uma
técnica evolutiva para gerar boas funções de combinação de três diferentes fontes de evidência: o conteúdo textual dos documentos, as estruturas de ligação entre os documentos de uma coleção e a concatenação dos textos de âncora que apontam para cada documento. As funções de
combinação descobertas neste trabalho foram testadas em duas coleções distintas: a primeira contém consultas e documentos de uma máquina de busca real da Web que contém cerca de 12 milhões de documentos e a segunda é a coleção de referência LETOR, criada para permitir a
justa comparação entre métodos de aprendizagem de funções de ordenação. Os experimentos indicam que a abordagem estudada aqui é uma alternativa prática e efetiva para combinação de diferentes fontes de evidência em uma única lista de respostas. Nós verificamos também
que diferentes classes de consultas necessitam de diferentes funções de combinação de fontes de evidência e mostramos que nossa abordagem é viável em identificar boas funções.

Previous issue date: 2016-09-21 / FAPEAM - Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Amazonas / A large number of URLs collected by web crawlers correspond to pages with duplicate or near-duplicate contents. These duplicate URLs, generically known as DUST (Different URLs with Similar Text), adversely impact search engines since crawling, storing and using such data imply waste of resources, the building of low quality rankings and poor user experiences. To deal with this problem, several studies have been proposed to detect and remove duplicate documents without fetching their contents. To accomplish this, the proposed methods learn normalization rules to transform all duplicate URLs into the same canonical form. This information can be used by crawlers to avoid fetching DUST.
A challenging aspect of this strategy is to efficiently derive the minimum set of rules that achieve larger reductions with the smallest false positive rate. As most methods are based on pairwise analysis, the quality of the rules is affected by the criterion used to select the examples and the availability of representative examples in the training sets. To avoid processing large numbers of URLs, they employ techniques such as random sampling or by looking for DUST only within sites, preventing the generation of rules involving multiple DNS names. As a consequence of these issues, current methods are very susceptible to noise and, in many cases, derive rules that are very specific. In this thesis, we present a new approach to derive quality rules that take advantage of a multi-sequence alignment strategy. We demonstrate that a full multi-sequence alignment of URLs with duplicated content, before the generation of the rules, can lead to the deployment of very effective rules. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach achieved larger reductions in the number of duplicate URLs than our best baseline in two different web collections, in spite of being much faster. We also present a distributed version of our method, using the MapReduce framework, and demonstrate its scalability by evaluating it using a set of 7.37 million URLs. / Um grande número de URLs obtidas por coletores corresponde a páginas com
conteúdo duplicado ou quase duplicado, conhecidas em Inglês pelo acrônimo
DUST, que pode ser traduzido como Diferentes URLs com Texto Similar. DUST
são prejudiciais para sistemas de busca porque ao serem coletadas, armazenadas
e utilizadas, contribuem para o desperdício de recursos, a criação de rankings
de baixa qualidade e, consequentemente, uma experiência pior para o usuário.
Para lidar com este problema, muita pesquisa tem sido realizada com intuito
de detectar e remover DUST antes mesmo de coletar as URLs. Para isso, esses
métodos se baseiam no aprendizado de regras de normalização que transformam
todas as URLs com conteúdo duplicado para uma mesma forma canônica. Tais regras podem ser
então usadas por coletores com o intuito de reconhecer e ignorar DUST.
Para isto, é necessário derivar, de forma eficiente, um conjunto mínimo de
regras que alcance uma grande taxa de redução com baixa incidência de
falsos-positivos. Como a maioria dos métodos propostos na literatura é baseada
na análise de pares, a qualidade das regras é afetada pelo critério usado para
selecionar os exemplos de pares e a disponibilidade de exemplos representativos
no treino. Para evitar processar um número muito alto de exemplos, em geral,
são aplicadas técnicas de amostragem ou a busca por DUST é limitada apenas a
sites, o que impede a geração de regras que envolvam diferentes nomes de DNS.
Como consequência, métodos atuais são muito suscetíveis a ruído e, em muitos
casos, derivam regras muito específicas. Nesta tese, é proposta uma nova
técnica para derivar regras, baseada em uma estratégia de alinhamento
múltiplo de sequências. Em particular, mostramos que um alinhamento prévio das
URLs com conteúdo duplicado contribui para uma melhor generalização, o que
resulta na geração de regras mais efetivas. Através de experimentos em duas
diferentes coleções extraídas da Web, observa-se que a técnica proposta,
além de ser mais rápida, filtra um número maior de URLs duplicadas.
Uma versão distribuída do método, baseada na arquitetura MapReduce,
proporciona a possibilidade de escalabilidade para coleções com dimensões
compatíveis com a Web.

Previous issue date: 2011-08-10 / Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie / With the constant growth in the quantity of websites, and consequently the increase in content availability throughout
the Internet, the development of search mechanisms that enable access to reliable information has become a complex activity. In this sense, this work presents a revision on the behavior of search mechanisms, as well as the manner through which they map information, including the study of ontologies and knowledge bases, as well as forms of knowledge representation on the Internet. These models integrate the Semantic Web, which constitutes a proposal for the organization of information. Based on these elements, a search mechanism was developed for a specific domain: videogames. This mechanism is based on the classification of electronic games by specialized review websites, where one may extract information about select titles. As such, this work is divided in four stages. Firstly, data is extracted from the aforementioned websites for previously selected titles through the use of a webcrawler. Secondly, an analysis is performed on the obtained data on two fronts, utilizing natural computing as well as power-law concepts. Next, an ontology for videogames is constructed, with its subsequent publication in a knowledge base accessible to the software. Lastly, the implementation of the actual mechanism, which will make use of the knowledge base and bring the user suggestions pertaining to his search, such as titles or related characteristics intrinsic to games that may be evaluated relating to the search. This work also hopes to present itself as a useful model that may be utilized in different domains, such as movies, travel destinations, electronic appliances and software, among others. / Com o crescimento da quantidade de websites e, consequentemente, o aumento de conteúdo disponível na Internet, desenvolver sistemas de busca que possibilitem o acesso à informação confiável tornou-se uma atividade complexa. Desta forma, este trabalho apresenta uma revisão do funcionamento dos mecanismos de busca e das formas pelas quais a informação é mapeada, o que inclui o estudo de ontologias e bases de conhecimento, bem como de formas de representação de informação na Internet. Estes modelos integram a Web Semântica, que constitui uma proposta de organização de informação. Com base nestes elementos foi desenvolvido um sistema de busca de conteúdo em um domínio específico: jogos eletrônicos. Este pauta-se na classificação de websites especializados, de onde pode-se extrair informações das resenhas disponíveis sobre os títulos escolhidos. Para tanto, a proposta divide-se em quatro fases. A primeira relaciona-se à coleta de dados dos websites mencionados por meio da implementação de um webcrawler que realiza a extração de informações de uma lista de jogos pré-determinada. Em seguida é feito o tratamento e a análise dos dados por meio de duas abordagens, que utilizam-se de computação natural e conceitos de lei de potência. Além disso, foi feita a construção de uma ontologia para estes jogos e publicação destes dados em uma base de conhecimento acessível ao software. Por último, foi implementado um mecanismo de busca que faz uso da base de conhecimento e apresenta como resultado, ao usuário, sugestões pertinentes à sua busca, como títulos ou características relacionadas. Este trabalho ainda apresenta um modelo que pode ser utilizado em outros domínios, tais como filmes, destinos de viagens, eletrodomésticos, softwares, dentre outros.

Att skapa en upplevelse av god svarskvalitet i VAPABörjesson, Tim, Kumlin, Filip January 2021 (has links)
Voice-activated personal assistants (VAPA) har på senare tid blivit allt vanligare i dagligt bruk för individer. Då VAPA används som sökmotorer är det viktigt att de kan leverera ett svar som användaren upplever är av god kvalitet. Tidigare studier har genomfört kvantitativa tester för att undersöka svarskvaliteten i VAPA där användarens upplevelse inte tagits hänsyn till. Vi presenterar en studie ämnad för att fylla denna kunskapslucka. Genom en litteraturstudie togs fem grundteman fram, relevans, trovärdighet, läsbarhet, aktualitet och rikhet på innehåll, som ligger till grund för upplevelse av god svarskvalitet. Genom en intervjustudie med nio respondenter har deras upplevelse av VAPAs svarskvalitet undersökts baserat på litteraturstudiens teman. Utkomsten av studien är: (1) Studien visade på ett komplext samband mellan dessa teman, där några teman var beroende av andra teman. (2) Rikhet på innehåll visades ha motsatt effekt i en VAPA jämfört med traditionella sökverktyg, detta då rikheten i VAPA önskades vara kort och koncist snarare än att visa mycket innehåll. (3) I VAPA bör svaren vara i rätt svarsform för den ställda frågan, därmed bör svaren vara enkla, tydliga och inte innehålla onödig information såsom annonser som kan störa användaren i sökandet av ett svar. (4) Svarens trovärdighet är beroende av källornas rykten och användarens kunskap om källan, där vissa användare upplever blind tillit till vissa källor. / Voice-activated personal assistants (VAPA) have recently become more common in daily use for individuals. Because VAPAs are used as search engines, it is important that they can deliver an answer that the user feels is of good quality. Previous studies have conducted quantitative tests to examine the response quality in VAPA where the user experience has not been taken into account. We present a study intended to fill this knowledge gap. Through a literature study, five base themes were developed, relevance, credibility, readability, timeliness and richness of content, which is the basis for the experience of good response quality. Through an interview study with nine respondents, their experience of VAPA's response quality was investigated based on the literature study's themes. The results of the study are: (1) The study showed a complex relationship between these themes, where some themes were dependent on other themes. (2) Richness in content was shown to have the opposite effect in a VAPA compared to traditional search tools, as the richness in VAPA was desired to be short and concise rather than to show a lot of content. (3) The answers in VAPA should be in the correct form of answer for the question asked, thus the answers should be simple, clear and not contain unnecessary information such as advertisements that could disturb the user in the search for the answer. (4) The credibility of the answers depends on the sources' rumors and the user's knowledge of the source, where some users experience blind trust in certain sources.

Framtagning av en konceptuell kostnadsmodell för sökmotoroptimerade webbapplikationer : Ett förslag på kostnadsmodell som beskriver uppkomna kostnader utifrån centrala aktiviteter / Development of a conceptual cost model for search engine optimized web applications : An alternative cost model that describes expenses based on key activitiesRosvall, Oliver January 2021 (has links)
Den digitala utvecklingen har förändrat sättet människor kommunicerar och lever sina liv. Idag är det möjligt att boka ett möte, beställa mat eller köpa en resa online. Den moderna människans konsumtionsvanor gör det livsviktigt för företag att etablera en digital närvaro. Som ett resultat av detta väljer allt fler företag att utveckla nya webbapplikationer för att sälja och marknadsföra sina produkter. För att synas finns det idag många olika marknadsföringsstrategier men under de senaste åren har det visat sig vara populärt att använda sig av sökmotorer. Sökmotormarknadsföring kan utföras med hjälp av sökmotoroptimering (SEO) och sökmotorannonsering. Båda metoderna behandlar olika områden som gör att en webbsida syns bland sökresultaten på sökmotorer såsom Google, Yahoo och Bing. Som ett resultat har det blivit vanligt att dessa två metoder används i symbios med varandra för att skapa ett konstant inflöde av användare. Att räkna ut priset för sökmotorannonsering är enkelt eftersom webbägaren betalar ett pris för varje annonsklick. Att räkna ut priset för SEO är något mer komplicerat eftersom kostnaden beror på vilket optimeringsarbete som utförs. Problemet är att det inte finns en känd kostnadsmodell som presenterar uppkomna kostnader vid framtagning och underhåll av en sökmotoroptimerad webbapplikation. Denna rapport syftar därför till att ta fram och presentera en konceptuell kostnadsmodell som ökar förståelsen för uppkomna kostnader vid centrala aktiviteter. Rapportens mål är däremot att ta fram en modell som kan användas av företag, organisationer, forskargrupper och individer för att identifiera och kategorisera uppkomna kostnader vid skapande och underhåll av en sökmotoroptimerad webbapplikation. Framtagandet av den konceptuella kostnadsmodellen genomfördes via en kvalitativ studie vilket innebär att studiens resultat bygger på observationer, upplevelser och sinnesintryck. Insamling av data gjordes med hjälp av en utforskningsmodell som består av två forskningskriterier. Arbetet inleddes med att utforska (1) centrala aktiviteter som påverkar kostnaden och därefter studerades (2) initiala och löpande kostnader. En fallstudie och fyra stycken intervjuer har använts som rapportens forskningsinstrument. De data som samlats in har analyserats med en tematisk analys där samband och olikheter identifieras. Utifrån upptäckterna i analysen skapades sedan en primär kostnadsmodell. Den primära kostnadsmodellen utvärderades med hjälp av arbetets utvärderingsmodell som präglades av tre forskningskriterier. Utvärderingen gjordes med en av intervjupersonerna och fokus låg på att studera hur bra modellen speglar verkligheten. Under intervjun utvärderades modellens övergripande (1) struktur, (2) aktiviteter och (3) kostnadsslag. Resultatet från utvärderingen resulterades sedan i en slutgiltig kostnadsmodell vid namn SEOCM (Search Engine Optimization Cost Model). Modellen tar och beskriver centrala aktiviteter som påverkar tillverkningskostnader och underhållskostnader för en sökmotoroptimerad webbapplikation. / The rise of technology has changed the way people communicate and live their lives. Nowadays, people can book a meeting, order food, or buy a trip online. The change in consumption habits makes it vital for companies to establish a digital presence. As a result, more companies are choosing to develop web applications to sell and market their product. To be visible, there are many different marketing strategies, but in recent years it has proven popular to use search engines. Search engine marketing can be done with search engine optimization (SEO) and search engine advertising. Both methods deal with different areas that make a web application visible on search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. As a result, both methods are usually combined to generate a higher number of visitors. Calculating the price of search engine advertising is easy because the web owner pays a price for each ad clicked. Calculating the price for SEO is somewhat more complicated as the cost depends on the optimization work performed. The problem is that there is no known cost model that presents costs categories during development and maintenance of a search engine optimized web application. This purpose of the report, is therefore, to develop and present a conceptual cost model that demonstrates costs incurred in key activities. The goal of the report, however, is to develop a model that can be used by companies, organizations, research groups, and individuals to identify and categorize the cost incurred in creating a web application that applies search engine optimization. The development of the conceptual cost model has been carried out via a qualitative study, which means that the results are based on observations, experiences, and sensory impressions. Data collection has been done using an exploration model that consists of two research criteria. The work began with exploring (1) key activities that affect the cost and then studied (2) initial and running costs. A case study and four interviews have been used as the report's research instruments. The data collected have been analyzed with a thematic analysis where similarities and differences are identified. Based on the findings, a primary cost model was created. The primary cost model has been evaluated with an evaluation model, which carried three research criteria. The evaluation was made with one of the interviewees and the focus was on studying how well the model reflects reality. During the interview, the model's overall (1) structure, (2) activities, and (3) cost categories were evaluated. The results of the evaluation then resulted in a final cost model called SEOCM (Search Engine Optimization Cost Model). The model captures and describes key activities that affect manufacturing costs and maintenance costs for search engine optimized web applications.

”Jag trivs ändå i min lilla bubbla” – En studie om studenters attityder till personaliseringHedin, Alice January 2016 (has links)
Denna studie ämnar att undersöka studenters attityder till utvecklingen av personalisering inom webbaserade tjänster och utforska skillnader och likheter mellan studenternas attityder. Studiens empiriska material är insamlat genom fem kvalitativa intervjuer och en webbenkät med 72 respondenter. Studien behandlar fördelar och nackdelar med personalisering, möjligheter att förhindra personalisering och möjliga konsekvenser av personalisering. Majoriteten av studenterna har en positiv attityd till personalisering av webbaserade tjänster. Resultatet visar att studenterna var mest positivt inställda till personalisering av streamingtjänster och minst positiva till personalisering av nyhetstjänster. Jag fann att användare i stor utsträckning inte anser att nyhetstjänster bör vara personaliserade. Det visade sig finnas en tydlig skillnad mellan studenternas kännedom om olika verktyg som kan användas för att förhindra personalisering. Ju mer teknisk utbildning som studenterna läser, desto bättre kännedom hade studenterna om verktygen. Resultatet visade även att en stor del av studenterna önskade att de kunde stänga av personaliseringsfunktionen på tjänster. Personalisering har blivit en naturlig del av användarnas vardag och att majoriteten av användarna inte har tillräcklig kunskap om fenomenet och därför intar de en passiv attityd och undviker att reflektera närmare över personaliseringen och dess möjliga konsekvenser. / This essay aims to study student’s attitudes towards web personalization and explore where the student’s attitudes differ and converge. The empirical materials of the study where assembled by the usage of five qualitative interviews and a quantitative survey with 72 respondents. The study discusses the pros and cons, the ability to constrain web personalization and possible effects and outcomes of web personalization. The majority of the students have a positive attitude towards web personalization. The students were most positive towards personalization of streaming services and least positive towards personalization of media channels that output news. There was an explicit difference between the students’ knowledge of the possibilities to constrain web personalization through the usage of different extensions and tools. Those students who studied a more technical program showed more knowledge of extensions and tools that can be used to prevent or constrain web personalization. The results also showed that the over all students desire more control over web personalization and demand a function where the personalization of web services could be turned off. The study resulted in the findings that web personalization has become a part of the users every-day life and that the students do not have enough knowledge of web personalization which have led to a passive attitude towards it.

Semantic Web Identity of academic organizations / search engine entity recognition and the sources that influence Knowledge Graph Cards in search resultsArlitsch, Kenning 11 January 2017 (has links)
Semantic Web Identity kennzeichnet den Zustand, in dem ein Unternehmen von Suchmaschinen als Solches erkannt wird. Das Abrufen einer Knowledge Graph Card in Google-Suchergebnissen für eine akademische Organisation wird als Indikator für SWI nominiert, da es zeigt, dass Google nachprüfbare Tatsachen gesammelt hat, um die Organisation als Einheit zu etablieren. Diese Anerkennung kann wiederum die Relevanz ihrer Verweisungen an diese Organisation verbessern. Diese Dissertation stellt Ergebnisse einer Befragung der 125 Mitgliedsbibliotheken der Association of Research Libraries vor. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass diese Bibliotheken in den strukturierten Datensätzen, die eine wesentliche Grundlage des Semantic Web sind und Faktor bei der Erreichung der SWI sind, schlecht vertreten sind. Der Mangel an SWI erstreckt sich auf andere akademische Organisationen, insbesondere auf die unteren Hierarchieebenen von Universitäten. Ein Mangel an SWI kann andere Faktoren von Interesse für akademische Organisationen beeinflussen, einschließlich der Fähigkeit zur Gewinnung von Forschungsförderung, Immatrikulationsraten und Verbesserung des institutionellen Rankings. Diese Studie vermutet, dass der schlechte Zustand der SWI das Ergebnis eines Versagens dieser Organisationen ist, geeignete Linked Open Data und proprietäre Semantic Web Knowledge Bases zu belegen. Die Situation stellt eine Gelegenheit für akademische Bibliotheken dar, Fähigkeiten zu entwickeln, um ihre eigene SWI zu etablieren und den anderen Organisationen in ihren Institutionen einen SWI-Service anzubieten. Die Forschung untersucht den aktuellen Stand der SWI für ARL-Bibliotheken und einige andere akademische Organisationen und beschreibt Fallstudien, die die Wirksamkeit dieser Techniken zur Verbesserung der SWI validieren. Die erklärt auch ein neues Dienstmodell der SWI-Pflege, die von anderen akademischen Bibliotheken für ihren eigenen institutionellen Kontext angepasst werden. / Semantic Web Identity (SWI) characterizes an entity that has been recognized as such by search engines. The display of a Knowledge Graph Card in Google search results for an academic organization is proposed as an indicator of SWI, as it demonstrates that Google has gathered enough verifiable facts to establish the organization as an entity. This recognition may in turn improve the accuracy and relevancy of its referrals to that organization. This dissertation presents findings from an in-depth survey of the 125 member libraries of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL). The findings show that these academic libraries are poorly represented in the structured data records that are a crucial underpinning of the Semantic Web and a significant factor in achieving SWI. Lack of SWI extends to other academic organizations, particularly those at the lower hierarchical levels of academic institutions, including colleges, departments, centers, and research institutes. A lack of SWI may affect other factors of interest to academic organizations, including ability to attract research funding, increase student enrollment, and improve institutional reputation and ranking. This study hypothesizes that the poor state of SWI is in part the result of a failure by these organizations to populate appropriate Linked Open Data (LOD) and proprietary Semantic Web knowledge bases. The situation represents an opportunity for academic libraries to develop skills and knowledge to establish and maintain their own SWI, and to offer SWI service to other academic organizations in their institutions. The research examines the current state of SWI for ARL libraries and some other academic organizations, and describes case studies that validate the effectiveness of proposed techniques to correct the situation. It also explains new services that are being developed at the Montana State University Library to address SWI needs on its campus, which could be adapted by other academic libraries.

The liability of internet intermediariesRiordan, Jaani January 2013 (has links)
Internet intermediaries facilitate a wide range of conduct using services supplied over the layered architecture of modern communications networks. Members of this class include search engines, social networks, internet service providers, website operators, hosts, and payment gateways, which together exert a critical and growing influence upon national and global economies, governments and cultures. This research examines who should face legal responsibility when wrongdoers utilise these services tortiously to cause harm to others. It has three parts. Part 1 seeks to understand the nature of an intermediary and how its liability differs from the liability of primary defendants. It classifies intermediaries according to a new layered, functional taxonomy and argues that many instances of secondary liability in English private law reflect shared features and underlying policies, including optimal loss-avoidance and derivative liability premised on an assumption of responsibility. Part 2 analyses intermediaries’ monetary liability for secondary wrongdoing in two areas of English law: defamation and copyright. It traces the historical evolution of these doctrines at successive junctures in communications technology, before identifying and defending limits on that liability which derive from three main sources: (i) in-built limits contained in definitions of secondary wrongdoing; (ii) European safe harbours and general limits on remedies; and (iii) statutory defences and exceptions. Part 3 examines intermediaries’ non-monetary liability, in particular their obligations to disclose information about alleged primary wrongdoers and to cease facilitating wrongdoing where it is necessary and proportionate to do so. It proposes a new suite of non-facilitation remedies designed to restrict access to tortious internet materials, remove such materials from search engines, and reduce the profitability of wrongdoing. It concludes with several recommendations to improve the effectiveness and proportionality of remedies by reference to considerations of architecture, anonymity, efficient procedures, and fundamental rights.
