AN ALGORITHM TO USE FEEDBACK ON VIEWED DOCUMENTS TO IMPROVE WEB QUERY Enabling NaĂŻve Searchers to Search the Web Smartly
Abstract: This paper presents an algorithm to improve a web search query based on the feedback on the viewed documents. A user who is searching for information on the Web marks the retrieved (viewed) documents as relevant or irrelevant to further expose the information needs expressed in the original query. A new web search query matching this improved understanding of the userâs information needs is synthesized from these text documents. The methodology provides a way for creating web search query that matches the userâs information need even when the user may have difficulty in doing so directly due to lack of experience in the query design or lack of familiarity of the search domain. A user survey has shown that the algorithmically formed query has recall coverage and precision characteristics better than those achieved by the experienced human web searchers.

Integration of Reciprocal Teaching-ICT Model To Improve StudentsâMathematics Critical Thinking Ability
This research examines the effectiveness on how mathematics teachers have begun to integrate
information and communication technology (ICT) with reciprocal teaching model to improve studentsâ
mathematics critical thinking ability into seventh junior high school classroom practice. This study was
experimental research with a quasi-experimental design. The samples of the study are 36 students for classroom
experiments and 36 students for classroom control. The instruments employed in this study were pre-test and
post-test. All the instruments are made in essays forms. The data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics.
Based on the research findings, it was gotten that (1) the development of teaching instructional multimedia of
the seven grade students of junior high school; (2) the improvement of studentsâ mathematics critical thinking
ability in experimental class; (3) the aspect of attractiveness shows that the developed instructional multimedia was very interesting; and (4) reciprocal learning has good impact on studentsâ mathematics critical thinking ability
Big Data in Organizations and the Role of Human Resource Management
Big data are changing the way we work. This book conveys a theoretical understanding of big data and the related interactions on a socio-technological level as well as on the organizational level. Big data challenge the human resource department to take a new role. An organizationâs new competitive advantage is its employees augmented by big data
The Machine as Art/ The Machine as Artist
The articles collected in this volume from the two companion Arts Special Issues, âThe Machine as Art (in the 20th Century)â and âThe Machine as Artist (in the 21st Century)â, represent a unique scholarly resource: analyses by artists, scientists, and engineers, as well as art historians, covering not only the current (and astounding) rapprochement between art and technology but also the vital post-World War II period that has led up to it; this collection is also distinguished by several of the contributors being prominent individuals within their own fields, or as artists who have actually participated in the still unfolding events with which it is concerne
