Improving Search Experience on Distributed Leisure Events

چکیده
This paper examines how simple changes to a search system can influence the user’s experience when using the system. In previous work, we evaluated user behaviour with a search tool designed to help people discover events distributed over a city of interest to them personally. We established, contrary to our expectations, that users mostly searched for events they already knew about, made several spelling errors and often achieved poor search performance. Taking these findings as inspiration, we made changes to how the system works. In this paper, we describe and motivate the changes and present a naturalistic log-based study (n=860) to examine the effect on user search behaviour.

Optimal reconfiguration of radial distribution system with the aim of reducing losses and improving voltage profiles using the improved lightning search algorithm
In this paper, a modified version of the lightning search algorithm is proposed in order to find the optimal reconfiguration of the switches and locate and determine the optimal capacity of distributed generation sources in the distribution feeder. The main optimization goals are to reduce ohmic losses and voltage deviations in the standard 33-bus and 94-node IEEE feeders. The simulation result...
متن کاملOut and About on Museums Night: Investigating Mobile Search Behaviour for Leisure Events
When search behaviour is studied in information retrieval it is nearly always studied with respect to work tasks. Recent research, however, has indicated that search tasks people perform in leisure situations can be quite different. In leisure contexts needs tend to be more hedonistic in nature and often don’t require specific information to be found. Instead, information is sought that can lea...

متن کاملOptimal experience in work and leisure.
Followed 78 adult workers for 1 week with the experience sampling method. (This method randomly samples self-reports throughout the day.) The main question was whether the quality of experience was more influenced by whether a person was at work or at leisure or more influenced by whether a person was in flow (i.e., in a condition of high challenges and skills). Results showed that all the vari...
