This paper investigates the applicability of Informedia shot-based interface features for video retrieval in the hands of novice users, noted in past work as being too reliant on text search. The Informedia interface was redesigned to better promote the availability of additional video access mechanisms, and tested with TRECVID 2005 interactive search tasks. A transaction log analysis from 24 n...

Our goal is to develop a web server log analysis tool that produces a web site profile and its system resource usage in a way useful to service providers. Understanding the nature of traffic to the web site is crucial in properly designing site support infrastructure, especially for large, busy sites. The main questions we address in this paper are the new access patterns of today’s WWW, how to...

This study was carried out to determine some biological characteristics including age, growth and somatic condition of Carasobarbus luteus and Capoeta trutta in the Turkish part of the Tigris River. The examined samples of C. luteus were distributed between II-IX years of age. The length-weigth relations of females and males were calculated as Log W =-4.7314 +3.0113 Log FL and Log W = -4.7631 +...

Message type or message cluster extraction is an important task in automatic application log analysis. When the message types that exist in a log file are defined, they form the basis for carrying out other automatic application log analysis tasks. In this paper we introduce a novel algorithm for carrying out this task. IPLoM, which stands for Iterative Partitioning Log Mining, works through a ...

The goal of this study was to investigate and compare user search activities of two discovery tools at an academic library. The implementation of a new discovery tool (Primo by Ex Libris) to replace an existing system (VuFind) provided a unique opportunity to collect transaction logs of both systems and examine user search behavior in an empirical test. Results from a transaction log analysis a...
