Automata Modeling for Cognitive Interference in Users' Relevance Judgment

چکیده
Quantum theory has recently been employed to further advance the theory of information retrieval (IR). A challenging research topic is to investigate the so called quantum-like interference in users’ relevance judgment process, where users are involved to judge the relevance degree of each document with respect to a given query. In this process, users’ relevance judgment for the current document is often interfered by the judgment for previous documents, due to the interference on users’ cognitive status. Research from cognitive science has demonstrated some initial evidence of quantum-like cognitive interference in human decision making, which underpins the user’s relevance judgment process. This motivates us to model such cognitive interference in the relevance judgment process, which in our belief will lead to a better modeling and explanation of user behaviors in relevance judgement process for IR and eventually lead to more user-centric IR models. In this paper, we propose to use probabilistic automaton (PA) and quantum finite automaton (QFA), which are suitable to represent the transition of user judgment states, to dynamically model the cognitive interference when the user is judging a list of documents.

متن کاملPower and Contention Control Scheme: As a Good Candidate for Interference Modeling in Cognitive Radio Network
Due to the ever growing need for spectrum, the cognitive radio (CR) has been proposed to improve the radio spectrum utilization. In this scenario, the secondary users (SU) are permitted to share spectrum with the licensed primary users (SU) with a strict condition that they do not cause harmful interference to the cognitive network. In this work, we have proposed an interference model for cogni...

The raison d’etre for cognitive radio is that the radio spectrum is a scarce resource. Cognitive radio stretches this resource by enabling secondary users to operate in portions of the spectrum that are reserved for primary users but not currently used by the primary users. As it is whenever users share resources, coordination is a central issue in cognitive radio networks: absent coordination,...
متن کاملInterference Modeling and Analysis in Cognitive Radio Networks
Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) have received considerable attention and viewed as a promising paradigm for future wireless networking. Its major difference from the traditional wireless networks is that secondary users are allowed to access the channel if they pose no harmful interference to primary users. This distinct feature of CRNs has raised an essential and challenging question, i.e., ho...
