  1. Relevance of Time Spent on Web Pages WEBKDD August 20, 2006, Philadelphia, USA Peter I. Hofgesang hpi@few.vu.nl

  2. Intention of an online visitor • Real-world: customers have the ability to explicitly express what they are looking for • Web: intention is hidden and can only be partially revealed from implicit indicators in the traces users leave behind WebKDD 2006 Workshop on Knowledge Discovery on the Web, Aug. 20, 2006, at KDD 2006, Philadelphia, PA, USA

  3. (Broadly) Available information • Order of visited pages (P1 � P2 � P3 …) • Page popularity (nr. of times visited) • Time Spent on Page (TSP)? – claimed to be important in IR, HCI, E-learning – only rarely used in WUM – details are often not reported (however, preprocessing is not obvious!)

  10. Conclusion • TSP is a sensitive measure • Web log data preprocessing and Time normalization required • Added value in identifying user intention • For many applications the combination of TSP and frequency may be the optimal choice WebKDD 2006 Workshop on Knowledge Discovery on the Web, Aug. 20, 2006, at KDD 2006, Philadelphia, PA, USA

  11. Future (current) work • Objective measures of relevance • Normally field experiment to provide some kind of labeled data • Special testbed � – e.g., in case of a retail shop environment we have special labels for buyers – the purchased items indicate user interest and can be compared with the visit WebKDD 2006 Workshop on Knowledge Discovery on the Web, Aug. 20, 2006, at KDD 2006, Philadelphia, PA, USA
