Title: Inforadar @ UPRM


1
Inforadar _at_ UPRM
  • Computing Systems Research Group
  • Prof. Bienvenido Vélez-Rivera Leader
  • José Enseñat Graduate student
  • Juan Torres Undergraduate student
  • University of Puerto Rico
  • Mayagüez Campus
  • PRECISE Project
  • Mayagüez, October 07, 2000

Problem Statement
3
Query-based Web Search
short query
large result-set
  • BUT
  • - queries hard to write
  • sequential access to result set inadequate

4
Proposed Solution
5
Proposed Solution
Inforadars Interactive query hierarchies
seed query
selected query
result set for selected query
dynamic categories are queries
6
Inforadars Interactive query hierarchies
colors indicate node status
level 2 categories
icons mark documents read or in-basket
7
Theoretical Formulation
8
Coverage-based Category Evaluation MetricGoal
Avoid Redundancy and Information Loss
q
seed
q1
q2
(a) low information loss high redundancy
(b) high information loss low redundancy
(c) better
Ideal Select categories that best approximate a
partition But This is an NP-complete problem
9
CTS A greedy approximation algorithm for
category selection
Goal Pick best term among t1, t2, t3
C set of documents covered by previously
selected terms
low coverage
D(q t3)
winning category!
D(q)
D(q t2)
D(q t1)
high redundancy

Experimental Plan
  • Implement Inforadar site indexing ALL website
    data at UPRM
  • Make Inforadar the official search engine for the
    UPRM web site
  • Conduct usability study
  • Analyze real user feedback
  • Incorporate feedback into an improved design
