#norelated RIGHT:[ [[Japanese>FrontPageJa]] | English] * About the CRES (Cognitive Research for Exploratory Search) project [#v6ea9980] 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 a National Institute of Informatics joint research grant. ** Members (alphabetical order) [#o8b3bc22] :[[Yuka Egusa:http://www.nier.go.jp/yuka/index.html.en]]|Researcher, National Institute for Educational Policy Research, Japan :[[Noriko Kando:http://research.nii.ac.jp/~kando/]]|Professor, National Institute of Informatics, Japan :[[Makiko Miwa:http://ship.nime.ac.jp/~miwamaki/]]|Professor, The Open University of Japan, Japan :[[Hitomi Saito:http://rhino.ics.aichi-edu.ac.jp/]]|Lecturer, Aichi University of Education, Japan :[[Masao Takaku:http://masao.jpn.org/]]|Senior Engineer, National Institute for Materials Science, Japan :Hitoshi Terai|Assistant Professor, Tokyo Denki University, Japan ** Outcomes and Activities [#cc673807] -[[Categories of action]]: We defined 10 categories of action for analyzing of user's behavior on the web. -[[Lookzones]]: We defined “Lookzones”, a set of categories indicating which part of the results page that the participants looked. - [[Scanpath2SVG:http://cres.jpn.org/scanpath2svg/]]: Visualization service for eye movement data. - [[Lemur Query Log Toolbar:http://www.lemurproject.org/querylogtoolbar/]] (Lemur project): We contributed to the toolbar by reporting bugs and sending patches. -[[EyeTrackingSystem]]: We used a non-contact type eye-tracking system. ***Seminars [#be0b1d0f] :2009-03| [[Karuizawa Seminar:http://cres.jpn.org/seminar/200903karuizawa/]], supported by "Information Access Technologies Supporting Exploratory and Learning" (A01-38) in MEXT grant-in-aid for Info-plosion. ** Publications [#s3746ff0] *** Peer Reviewed Publications [#a944387c] -[2010:international conference] Link Depth: Measuring How Far Searchers Explore Web --Yuka Egusa, Hitomi Saito, Masao Takaku, Hitoshi Terai, Makiko Miwa, Noriko Kando --Hawaii; Proceedings of the 43rd Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences ([[HICSS 2010:http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/HICSS_43/apahome43.htm]]); (2010-01)(in Press) -[2009:international conference] How Task Types and User Experiences Affect Information-Seeking Behavior on the Web: Using Eye-tracking and Client-side Search Logs --Hitomi Saito, Hitoshi Terai, Yuka Egusa, Masao Takaku, Makiko Miwa, Noriko Kando --Boston; Proceedings of the Workshop on Understanding the User (UUIR 2009) (SIGIR 2009 Workshop); p.4; (2009-07) --[paper] http://uiir-2009.dfki.de/ --[poster] http://cres.jpn.org/?plugin=attach&pcmd=open&file=uuir-handout.pdf&refer=Files --[poster] http://cres.jpn.org/?plugin=attach&pcmd=open&file=uuir-poster-linkdepth.pdf&refer=Files --[Breakout group meeting] http://cres.jpn.org/?plugin=attach&pcmd=open&file=2009-07-23-UUIR-Group3.pdf&refer=Files -[2008:international conference] Visualization of User Eye Movements for Search Result Pages --Yuka Egusa, Masao Takaku, Hitoshi Terai, Hitomi Saito, Noriko Kando, Makiko Miwa --National Institute of Informatics; Tokyo; Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Evaluating Information Access (EVIA 2008) (NTCIR-7 Pre-Meeting Workshop); pp.42-46; (2008-12) --http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/workshop/OnlineProceedings7/pdf/EVIA2008/08-EVIA2008-EgusaY.pdf -- [Poster] http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/workshop/OnlineProceedings7/poster/08-EVIA2008-EgusaY_poster.pdf -- [Slides] http://research.nii.ac.jp/ntcir/workshop/OnlineProceedings7/slides/08-EVIA2008-EgusaY_slides.pdf -- [Demo] [[Scanpath2SVG:http://cres.jpn.org/scanpath2svg/]] -[2008:international conference] Differences between Informational and Transactional Tasks in Information Seeking on the Web --Hitoshi Terai, Hitomi Saito, Masao Takaku, Yuka Egusa, Makiko Miwa, Noriko Kando --Proceedings of the Second Symposium on Information Interaction in Context (IIiX 2008); pp.152-159 (2008-10) --http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1414694.1414728 -[2007:international conference] Comparing System Evaluation with User Experiments for Japanese Web Navigational Retrieval --Masao Takaku, Yuka Egusa, Hitomi Saito, Hitoshi Terai --Amsterdam; Proceedings of the First Workshop on Web Information-Seeking and Interaction (WISI 2007) (SIGIR 2007 Workshop); pp.49-52; (2007-07) --http://research.microsoft.com/~ryenw/wisi/ -[2007:international conference] Methodology for Capturing Exploratory Search Processes --Makiko Miwa, Noriko Kando. --San Jose: Proceeding of the ACM SIGCHI 2007 Workshop on Exploratory Search and HCI : Designing and Evaluating Interfaces to Support Exploratory Search Interaction (ESI2007); pp.76-80; (2007-04) --http://research.microsoft.com/~ryenw/esi -[2007:paper] Naïve Ontology for Concepts of Time and Space for Searching and Learning --Makiko Miwa, Noriko Kando --Information Research, vol. 23, no. 2, January 2007 (2007-01) --http://informationr.net/ir/12-2/paper296.html -[2006:international conference] Role of Naïve Ontology in Search and Learn Processes for Domain Novices --Makiko Miwa, Noriko Kando --in S.
