چکیده
This paper describes our participation in the interactive track (ChiSwe Group) of the Social Book Search lab organized at CLEF 2016. This is our first participation in CLEF SBS interactive track. A total of 112 participants (29 native Chinese speakers 27 native English speakers, and 56 native speakers of other languages) participated in the SBS Interactive Track. We found that native Chinese speakers devoted more search efforts in searching, i.e. spent longest time to complete search tasks, selected the most number of books, have switched most between search, browse and review model of the search system, viewed more items and more metadata, and annotated more than native English speakers and native speakers of other languages. However, when evaluating the search engagements, Chinese speakers had the highest scores while English speakers had the lowest scores.
