The Impact of the Objective Complexity and Product of Work Task on Interactive Information Searching Behavior

Background and Aim: this study aimed to explore the impact of objective complexity and Product of work task on user's interactive information searching behavior. Method: The research population consisted of MSc students of Ferdowsi university of Mashhad enrolled in 2012-13 academic year. In 3 stages of sampling (random stratified, quota, and voluntary sampling), 30 cases were selected. Each of ...

Vergence target selection in rhesus monkeys: behavior and modeling

Previous studies have shown that a LATER (Linear Approach to Threshold with Ergodic Rate) race model can be used to explain saccadic target selection and latencies. The goal of the present study was to determine whether a comparable model could be applied to the underlying decision-making processes involved in target selection for transient vergence eye movements in rhesus monkeys. Luminance co...

Collective Modeling of Human Social Behavior

This paper presents my vision for collective behavior modeling: simultaneously modeling the behavior of all people within a group while taking into account the structure of their social ties. I believe that collective behavior modeling will provide new insights into the relationship between local individual behavior and global social structure while also improving the accuracy of predictions ab...

Collaborative Searching: Social Searching, Together

Information Retrieval (IR) is typically an individual pursuit where an individual searcher will engage with a search system, working alone, until their information need is satisfied. Yet in the real world there are many scenarios, both work-related and related to leisure, entertainment or hobbies, where we want to search as part of a team, maybe even a group of only two people. Collaborative In...
