A major portion of postings on social networking sites constitute high quality digital images and videos. These images and videos require a fairly large amount of bandwidth during transmission. Accordingly, high quality image and video…
The group-in-a-box (GIB) layout is an efficient graph drawing method designed to visualize the group structure of graphs. The layout communicates group sizes and both within-group and between-group network structures simultaneously. The…
Requirements are key artefacts to describe the intended purpose of a software system. The quality of requirements is crucial for deciding what to do next, impacting the development process's effectiveness and efficiency. However, we know…
Research community evaluations in information retrieval, such as NIST's Text REtrieval Conference (TREC), build reusable test collections by pooling document rankings submitted by many teams. Naturally, the quality of the resulting test…
Users typically interact with a database by asking queries and examining the results. We refer to the user examining the query results and asking follow-up questions as query result exploration. Our work builds on two decades of provenance…
Many developers of biometric systems start with modest samples before general deployment. They are interested in how their systems will work with much larger samples. We evaluated the effect of gallery size on biometric performance.…
Ranking is used for a wide array of problems, most notably information retrieval (search). There are a number of popular approaches to the evaluation of ranking such as Kendall's $\tau$, Average Precision, and nDCG. When dealing with…
As conversational AI systems become popular for information retrieval and question-answering, the references they cite are key to ensuring their answers are reliable and trustworthy. Yet, no prior work systematically analyzes how these…
A number of models for neural content-based news recommendation have been proposed. However, there is limited understanding of the relative importances of the three main components of such systems (news encoder, user encoder, and scoring…
Current advance of internet allows rapid dissemination of information, accelerating the progress on wide spectrum of society. This has been done mainly through the use of website interface with inherent unique human interactions. In this…
Abstract instructions in piano education, such as "raise your wrist" and "relax your tension," lead to varying interpretations among learners, preventing instructors from effectively conveying their intended pedagogical guidance. To address…
Comparative analysis of event sequence data is essential in many application domains, such as website design and medical care. However, analysts often face two challenges: they may not always know which sets of event sequences in the data…
A primary goal of remote collaboration tools is to provide effective and inclusive meetings for all participants. To study meeting effectiveness and meeting inclusiveness, we first conducted a large-scale email survey (N=4,425; after…
Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs) serve as the digital gateways to the vast expanse of the internet. Past decades have witnessed a surge in research primarily centered on the influence of website ranking on these pages, to determine the…
Software Engineering activities are information intensive. Research proposes Information Retrieval (IR) techniques to support engineers in their daily tasks, such as establishing and maintaining traceability links, fault identification, and…
We seek to understand when heterogeneity in user preferences yields improved outcomes in terms of overall cost. That this might be hoped for is based on the common belief that diversity is advantageous in many settings. We investigate this…
Privacy policies are intended to support informed consent, yet users rarely read them fully. This study examines how common privacy policy interface structures influence attention allocation, reading behavior, and perceived experience.…
Thick two-sided matching platforms, such as the room-rental market, face the challenge of showing relevant objects to users to reduce search costs. Many platforms use ranking algorithms to determine the order in which alternatives are shown…
Information retrieval models have witnessed a paradigm shift from unsupervised statistical approaches to feature-based supervised approaches to completely data-driven ones that make use of the pre-training of large language models. While…
Online consumer reviews play a crucial role in guiding purchase decisions by offering insights into product quality, usability, and performance. However, the increasing volume of user-generated reviews has led to information overload,…
