Analyzing Sequential User Behavior on the Web

This tutorial aims at outlining fundamental methods for studying categorical sequences on the Web. Categorical sequences can refer to any kind of transitional data between a set of states, for example human navigation (transitions) between Web sites (states). Presented methods focus on sequential pattern mining, modeling and inference aiming at better understanding the production of sequences. ...

Existing desktop search applications, trying to keep up with the rapidly increasing storage capacities of our hard disks, are an important step towards more efficient personal information management, yet they offer an incomplete solution. While their indexing functionalities in terms of different file types they are able to cope with are impressive, their ranking capabilities are basic, and rel...

Beyond Models and Metaphors: Visual Formalisms in User Interface Design

models; metaphors; visual formalisms; user interface design The user interface has both syntactic functions· supplying commands and arguments to programs and semantic functions . visually presenting application semantics and supporting problem solving cognition. In this paper we argue that though both functions are important, it is time to devote more resources to the problems of the semantic i...
