dc.description.abstract | In this article we introduce the concept of search transitions
as a unit for measuring the effort invested by searchers
in
information retrieval interaction.
The concept is discussed
and compared to traditional measures of effort, such as
time. To investigate the usability of the search transition
measure we have performed an analysis of 149
logs in an
IR system indexing a collection of 650.000 Wikipedia
articles. Our findings show that search transitions correlate
with other, more mechanistic, effort measures. Additional
experiments are necessary to investigate if it is a better
measure of effort than e.g. number of documents
examined. | en_US |
