چکیده

Search and recommendation systems must include contextual information to effectively model users’ interests. In this paper, we present a systematic study of the effectiveness of five variant sources of contextual information for user interest modeling. Postquery navigation and general browsing behaviors far outweigh direct search engine interaction as an information-gathering activity. Therefore we conducted this study with a focus on Website recommendations rather than search results. The five contextual information sources used are: social, historic, task, collection, and user interaction. We evaluate the utility of these sources, and overlaps between them, based on how effectively they predict users’ future interests. Our findings demonstrate that the sources perform differently depending on the duration of the time window used for future prediction, and that context overlap outperforms any isolated source. Designers of Website suggestion systems can use our findings to provide improved support for post-query navigation and general browsing behaviors.

© 2012 ETRI Journal, Volume 34, Number 1, February 2012 Recently, several noise-robust adaptive multichannel LMS algorithms have been proposed based on the spectral flatness of the estimated channel coefficients in the presence of additive noise. In this work, we propose a general form for the algorithms that integrates the existing algorithms into a common framework. Computer simulation result...

System Overview We consider an iterative decoding and detection system for magnetic recording channels. The system uses a zero-forcing equalizer to shape the channel response to a target polynomial, called a partial-response (PR) polynomial. We assume that the noise at the input to the equalizer is AWGN. Hence, noise enhancement and coloration occur at the output of the equalizer. The output of...
