* About CRES (Cognitive Research for Exploratory Search) project [#v6ea9980]
* About the CRES (Cognitive Research for Exploratory Search) project [#v6ea9980]

In CRES project, we have investigated users behavior and cognitive
process during interactive search on the web for various information
seeking tasks of the users. Various users' activities are
-collected for further analysis by using from eye-trackers to think-aloud
for the purposes to design better interactive IR systems for
exploratory search.
The CRES project's goal is to investigate user's behavior and cognitive
processes during various information seeking tasks on the web. Various users' activities were　collected for analysis by using eye-trackers, think-aloud, etc., 
for the purpose of designing better interactive IR systems for
exploratory searches.

This project is supported by the National Institute of Informatics joint research grant.
This project has been supported by MEXT Grants in Aid and National Institute of Informatics joint research grants .

-[[Web action categories]]: We defined 10 Web action categories for analyzing of user's behavior on the web.
-[[Link Depth>LinkDepth]]: We defined “Link Depth” as an index for indicating the extent to which a user has moved deeper into the Web following links from search engine result pages (SERP).
-[[Concept Map>Conceptmap]]: Measuring the change in the user's knowledge due to the search by comparing these before and after maps.
-[[Lookzones]]: We defined “Lookzones”, a set of categories indicating which part of the results page that the participants looked.
-Taxonomy for Knowledge Change : a set of categories describing how a user's knowledge was changed during a search session.
-Taxonomy for Knowledge Utilization: a set of categories describing how users utilize their knowledge during a search session.
- [[Scanpath2SVG:http://cres.jpn.org/scanpath2svg/]]: Visualization service for eye movement data.
- [[VizCMap>VizCMap]]: Visualization and analysis tool for pre- and post-search concept maps.
-[[QT-Honey]]: a Firefox add-on toolbar for collecting web user behaviors, along with [[Web action categories]].
- [[Lemur Query Log Toolbar:http://www.lemurproject.org/querylogtoolbar/]] (Lemur project): QT-Honey simultaneously collects the data compatible with the Lemur Query Log Toolbar, which was developed by CMU/LTI.
-[[EyeTrackingSystem]]: We used a non-contact type eye-tracking systems.
