Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate image search query reformulation patterns in relation to image attribute categories. A total of 592 sessions and 2,445 queries from the Excite Web search engine log data were analyzed by utilizing Batley’s visual information types and two facets and seven sub-facets of query reformulation patterns. The results of this study are organized with two folds: query reformulation and categorical transition. As the most dominant categories of queries are specific and general/nameable, this tendency stays over various search stages. From the perspective of reformulation patterns, while the Parallel movement is the most dominant, there are slight differences depending on initial or preceding query categories. In examining categorical transitions, it was found that 60-80% of search queries were reformulated within the same categories of image attributes. These findings may be applied to practice and implementation of image retrieval systems in terms of assisting users’ query term selection and effective thesauri development.

본 연구의 목적은 기자직의 웹 행동 분석을 통해 웹 정보탐색행위 패턴의 특성을 규명하는 것이다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 기자직 23명을 대상으로 트랜잭션로그를 수집하여 분석하였다. 데이터 수집을 위하여 분석 대상의 컴퓨터에 웹 트래킹 소프트웨어를 설치하였으며, 2주 동안 총 39,860개의 웹 로그가 수집되었다. 세션의 시작과 종료 패턴, 단계별 이행 패턴, 순차규칙 모형이 분석되었으며, 기자직과 일반인의 웹 이용 패턴을 비교하였다. 이를 토대로 기자직의 웹 정보탐색행위 패턴을 사실확인형 탐색, 사실확인형 검색, 조사형 탐색, 조사형 검색 등 4가지 형태로 유형화하였다.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify th patterns in the news reporters’ information seeking behaviors by observing their web activities. For this purpose, transaction logs collected from 23 news reporters were analyzed. Web tracking software was installed to collect the data from their PCs, and a total of 39,860 web logs were collected in two weeks. Start and end pattern of sessions, transitional pattern by step, sequence rule model was analyzed and the pattern of Internet use was compared with the general public. the analysis of pattern derived a web information seeking behavior modes that consists of four types of behaviors: fact-checking browsing, fact-checking search, investigative browsing and investigative search.

Abstract

This study aims to provide a method of extracting the most recent information on US patent documents. An HTML paring technique that can directly connect to the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Web page is adopted. After obtaining a list of 50 documents through a keyword searching method, this study suggested an algorithm, using HTML parsing techniques, which can extract a patent number, an applicant, and the US patent class information. The study also revealed an algorithm by which we can extract both patents and subsequent patents using their closely connected relationship, that is a very distinctive characteristic of US patent documents. Although the proposed method has several limitations, it can supplement existing databases effectively in terms of timeliness and comprehensiveness.
