Outline

  • Motivation: Content vs. Intent
  • Goal Modeling: How can goals be modeled?
  • Goal Mining: How can goals be acquired from text?
  • Goal Representation: How can goals be related with each
  • ther collaboratively?
  • Goal Prediction: How can user goals be predicted?

In the Context of Search Query Logs and Tagging Systems

Content vs. Intent

Content (What it is) Intent (What goals it aims at / helps to achieve)

  • find a physician
  • organize a high-school

reunion

  • contact an old friend
  • organize a marketing

campaign

  • find others who share

the same family name

  • find my way to an

address

Blog Posts, Speeches, Web Services, … Gulf of Execution [Norman 1988] <meta name="Keywords" content=

Intent

Intent is:

  • Mostly latent [He 2007]
  • Not constrained by corresponding resources but by agents
  • Massively diverse [Chulef et al 2001, Strohmaier et al 2008]

[Anderson 2004]

Intentions Common human goals Highly indivi- dual goals Culture- specific goals

Different Degrees of Explicitness in Search Queries

  • M. Strohmaier, P. Prettenhofer, M. Lux, Different Degrees of Explicitness in Intentional Artifacts - Studying User Goals in

a Large Search Query Log, CSKGOI'08 International Workshop on Commonsense Knowledge and Goal Oriented Interfaces, in conjunction with IUI'08, Canary Islands, Spain, 2008.

  • Search queries exhibit considerable variety with respect

to intentional degree of explicitness

  • Explicit vs. Implicit intentional queries

car, car Miami, car Miami dealer, buy a car in Miami, buy a used car in Miami, get loan to buy a used car in Miami car, car Miami, car Miami dealer, buy a car in Miami, buy a used car in Miami, get loan to buy a used car in Miami

implicit explicit

[adapted from Anderson 2004]

Common human goals Highly indivi- dual goals Culture- specific goals Intentions Data: Based on ~ 20 million search queries collected from 657,426 unique user ID’s between March 1, 2006 and May 31, 2006 by AOL [Pass 2006].

For example, types of tags include: [Golder und Hubermann 2005] 1) Identifying what a resource is about 2) Identifying what it is 3) Identifying who owns it 4) Refining categories 5) Identifying qualities or characteristics 6) Self reference 7) Task organizing

Conclusions

Goals on the web …

  • 1. are latent

– To make user intent explicit, new algorithms and techniques are necessary

  • 2. Are dynamic

– List of user goals which can not be enumerated

  • 3. vary dramatically

– Dependent on agent, situation and context
