Towards User-Centered Retrieval Algorithms
نویسنده
چکیده
Nowadays almost all retrieval algorithms (for text, images, drawings, etc.) are mainly concerned in achieving good system-centered measures, such as precision and recall. However, these systems are used by users, who try to achieve goals through the execution of tasks. To better satisfy the users’ needs we must involve them in the development process of the retrieval systems. In this paper, we argue that a user-centered approach, where users are included in the development cycle of the overall retrieval system, can lead to improved retrieval algorithms and also to a better user satisfaction while using the system.

Behavioral Considerations in Developing Web Information Systems: User-centered Design Agenda
The current paper explores designing a web information retrieval system regarding the searching behavior of users in real and everyday life. Designing an information system that is closely linked to human behavior is equally important for providers and the end users. From an Information Science point of view, four approaches in designing information retrieval systems were identified as system-...
متن کاملUser-centered Measures vs. System Effectiveness in Finding Similar Songs
User evaluation in the domain of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) has been very scarce, while algorithms and systems in MIR have been improving rapidly. With the maturity of system-centered evaluation in MIR, time is ripe for MIR evaluation to involve users. In this study, we compare user-centered measures to a system effectiveness measure on the task of retrieving similar songs. To collect us...
متن کاملEvaluation of Music Information Retrieval: Towards a User-Centered Approach
With the dramatic increase of online digital music, research on Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is flourishing more than ever. However, evaluation in MIR has been focused on system-centered approaches, where systems are evaluated against a pre-built ground truth dataset using system-focused measurements, and little attention has been spent on user experience. In this paper, we argue that MIR ...
متن کاملPutting the User in the Center of Music Information Retrieval
Personalized and context-aware music retrieval and recommendation algorithms ideally provide music that perfectly fits the individual listener in each imaginable situation and for each of her information or entertainment need. Although first steps towards such systems have recently been presented at ISMIR and similar venues, this vision is still far away from being a reality. In this paper, we ...
