Vertical Result Page Generation for Academic Web Searching

Vertical search engines are meant for answering a user's web query within a specific domain such as news, media, and academic web searching. One main difference between vertical and horizontal web searching is that in vertical web searching, unlike horizontal web searching, a subset of entire web is engaged. The chapter investigates the state-of-the-art in academic web searching and points out shortcomings in this particular domain. Lastly, the authors aimed to propose a summary-based recommender to respond to a user's query by retrieving and ranking them according to their similarity merits on the basis of papers' summaries. Results of the evaluations revealed the fact that the proposed framework has outperformed the state-of-the-art in different metrics such as unanimous ranks and F1 measures.

Generally speaking, horizontal search engines are meant to deal with general web queries. In the context of this chapter, the authors investigated the act of navigational resource identification in the light of horizontal web searching. State-of-the-art navigational resource identification is reluctant to the distinct characteristics of the navigational queries and specific users' treatments toward different searching tasks. Consequently, in this chapter, the authors discussed a new mechanism for navigational resource identification according to previous findings.

Search engines are the most important search tools for finding useful and recent information on the Web today. They rely on crawlers that continually crawl the Web for new pages. Meanwhile, focused crawlers have become an attractive area for research in recent years. They suggest a better solution for general-purpose search engine limitations and lead to a new generation of search engines called vertical-search engines. Searching the Web vertically is to divide the Web into smaller regions; each region is related to a specific domain. In addition, one crawler is allowed to search in each domain. The innovation of this article is adding intelligence and adaptation ability to focused crawlers. Such added features will certainly guide the crawler perfectly to retrieve more relevant pages while crawling the Web. The proposed crawler has the ability to estimate the rank of the page before visiting it and adapts itself to any changes in its domain using.


This chapter highlighted the differences of users' behaviors between native English-speaking users and Chinese users as the biggest example of non-native English-speaking users. To do as such, the author of this chapter began by discussing the background of earlier web usage studies followed by a literature review on comparative studies that are on the basis of users with different language preferences. Afterwards, since earlier web log analyses are based on web transactions collected from mainly native users, the author of this chapter investigated the feasibility of generalization of former findings for navigational searching to the rest of the users by comparing two web log transactions from two groups of users with different localities in respect to the state-of-the-art in web searching.

artlibraries.net, formerly the VKK, is an international specialised meta catalogue allowing the integrated retrieval of bibliographic records and, should the occasion arise, other objects from distinctive art historical databases. This article analyses artlibraries.net from a functional point of view, but also discusses the cataloguing and subject indexing practice prevailing in art libraries internationally. It aims to identify some parameters for the future of art bibliography.

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.
