Explicit vs. Implicit Tagging for User Modeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Tagging has been popularized by Web 2.0 sites as a way to describe resources. Typically, tagging has been done in an explicit way in which users directly describe with tags the resources in which they are interested. However in today’s ubiquitous computing environments, it is possible to implicitly tag resources. This paper: (1) introduces the concept of explicit and implicit tagging for user models in two domains: Web 2.0 and mobile phone usage, respectively; and (2) compares the characteristics of both tagging mechanisms. Results indicate that the use of tags in both approaches is very similar, whereas the statistical characteristics of the common-interest networks are different.

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Explicit and Implicit Form-Focused Instruction on Explicit and Implicit Knowledge of EFL Learners
Although explicit and implicit knowledge of language learners are essential to theoretical and pedagogical debates in second language acquisition (SLA), little research has addressed the effects of instructional interventions on the two knowledge types (R. Ellis, 2005).This study examined the relative effectiveness of explicit and implicit types of form-focused instruction (FFI) on the acquisit...
متن کاملUnifying Implicit and Explicit Feedback for Multi-Application User Interest Modeling
A user often interacts with multiple applications while working on a task. User models can be developed individually at each of the individual applications, but there is no easy way to come up with a more complete user model based on the distributed activity of the user. To address this issue, this research proposal studies the importance of combining various implicit and explicit relevance fee...

Today, the trust has turned into one of the most beneficial solutions to improve recommender systems, especially in the collaborative filtering method. However, trust statements suffer from a number of shortcomings, including the trust statements sparsity, users' inability to express explicit trust for other users in most of the existing applications, etc. Thus to overcome these problems, this ...
متن کاملMeasuring the Effectiveness of Explicit and Implicit Instruction through Explicit and Implicit Measures
Many studies have examined the effect of different approaches to teaching grammar including explicit and implicit instruction. However, research in this area is limited in a number of respects. One such limitation pertains to the issue of construct validity of the measures, i.e. the knowledge developed through implicit instruction has been measured through instruments which favor th...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional potential fields for advanced volume modeling operators
Current methods for building models using implicit volume techniques present problems defining accurate and controllable blend shapes between implicit primitives. We present new methods to extend the freedom and controllability of implicit volume modeling. The main idea is to use a free-form curve to define the profile of the blend region between implicit primitives. The use of a free-form impl...
