User Judgements of Document Similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cosine similarity is a term-vector-based measure of similarity that has been used widely in information retrieval research. In this study, we collect user judgments of web document similarity in order to investigate the correlation between cosine similarity and users’ perception of similarity on web documents. Experimental results demonstrate that it is hard to deduce that cosine similarity correlates strongly with human judgements of similarity.

Human Dimensions of Corpora Comparison: An Analysis of Kilgarriff's (2001) Approach
There is a distinct lack of tools that provide a comprehensive measure of the similarity between corpora. Finding similar corpora is necessary for the design of certain user studies investigating text processing. It is also useful for ensuring comparability between studies on document analysis conducted across classified and unclassified domains. In this study, human judgements of corpora simil...

Exhibits within Cultural Heritage collections such as museums and art galleries are arranged by experts with intimate knowledge of the domain, but there may exist connections between individual exhibits that are not evident in this representation. For example, the visitors to such a space may have their own opinions on how exhibits relate to one another. In this paper, we explore the possibilit...
متن کاملA New Similarity Measure Based on Item Proximity and Closeness for Collaborative Filtering Recommendation
Recommender systems utilize information retrieval and machine learning techniques for filtering information and can predict whether a user would like an unseen item. User similarity measurement plays an important role in collaborative filtering based recommender systems. In order to improve accuracy of traditional user based collaborative filtering techniques under new user cold-start problem a...
متن کاملRRLUFF: Ranking function based on Reinforcement Learning using User Feedback and Web Document Features
Principal aim of a search engine is to provide the sorted results according to user’s requirements. To achieve this aim, it employs ranking methods to rank the web documents based on their significance and relevance to user query. The novelty of this paper is to provide user feedback-based ranking algorithm using reinforcement learning. The proposed algorithm is called RRLUFF, in which the rank...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Automaton for the Dynamic Relevance Judgements of Users
Conventional information retrieval (IR) evaluation relies on static relevance judgements in test collections. These, however, are insufficient for the evaluation of interactive IR (IIR) systems. When users browse search results, their decisions on whether to keep a document may be influenced by several factors including previously seen documents. This makes user-centred relevance judgements not...
