Information Seeking as Explorative Learning
نویسنده
چکیده
The paper starts with an overview of major problems hindering effective interactions with information retrieval systems. A brief review of models of the interaction taking place during information seeking is then provided with the aim of lying the ground for yet another model based on two levels of interaction: presentation and navigation. The former encompasses interactions with the user interface of the retrieval system, whereas the latter deals with the interaction that users experience with the information resource. It is claimed that this second level of interaction can be framed as an exploratory learning process and that its analysis provides adequate support for designing and evaluating information access systems.

متن کاملExplorative and exploitative learning strategies in technology-based alliance networks
This paper aims to improve our understanding of how exploitative and explorative learning of firms is enhanced through their social capital. Both types of learning differ considerably from each other and we argue that the distinction between them may be an important contingency factor in explaining the value of direct, indirect and (non-)redundant technology-based alliances. In particular we ar...
متن کاملPredicting explorative motor learning using decision-making and motor noise
A fundamental problem faced by humans is learning to select motor actions based on noisy sensory information and incomplete knowledge of the world. Recently, a number of authors have asked whether this type of motor learning problem might be very similar to a range of higher-level decision-making problems. If so, participant behaviour on a high-level decision-making task could be predictive of ...
