SICS at iCLEF 2008: User Confidence and Satisfaction Tentatively Inferred from iCLEF Logs

This paper gives a brief description of some initial experiments performed at SICS using the interactive image search query logs provided for participants in the interactive track of CLEF. The SICS experiments attempt to establish whether user confidence and trust in results can be related to logged behaviour. SICS has participated in this year’s iCLEF cycle mainly with an eye on future experim...

SICS at iCLEF 2008: User Confidence and Satisfaction inferred from iCLEF Logs

SICS has participated in this year’s iCLEF cycle mainly with an eye on future experimental settings to work on measurement of searcher trust and confidence in the search process and its results, in keeping with previous experimental studies performed at SICS [2, e.g.]. SICS has used the Flickling interface [1] and the logs delivered by it to study how searcher actions can be interpreted as expo...

Trusting the Results in Crosslingual Keyword-based Image Retrieval

This paper gives a brief description of the starting points for the experiments the SICS team has performed in the 2006 interactive CLEF campaign. Our experiments attempted to coax out social behaviour out of assessing usefulness of images for the illustration of a text, but found that the experiment design was not sensitive enough to find reliable results. 1

Dictionary-based Amharic-French Information Retrieval

We present four approaches to the Amharic French bilingual track at CLEF 2005. All experiments use a dictionary based approach to translate the Amharic queries into French Bags-of-words, but while one approach uses word sense discrimination on the translated side of the queries, the other one includes all senses of a translated word in the query for searching. We used two search engines: The SI...
