Converting Desktop into a Personal Activity Dataset
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current experiments on personalization in information retrieval are limited to the available collections of the real world data. While a number of publications exploited user interaction with Desktop, often these experiments are neither repeatable nor comparable. In this paper we elaborate on the need for logging the Desktop activity data and creating a common collection for Desktop search evaluation. We describe the design of such a dataset and necessary logging tools. We also outline the current state of our Personal Activity Track initiative towards creation of the Desktop search dataset. While this effort is currently targeting English-speaking users, it is also applicable to Russian and other languages.
