This paper proposes a new enhancing snippet extraction method using fuzzy and semantic features. The proposed method creates a delegate of sentence by using semantic features. It extracts snippet using fuzzy association between a delegate sentence and sentence set which well represents query. In addition, the method uses pseudo relevance feedback to expand query which extracts snippet to be well reflected semantic user's intention. The experimental results demonstrate the proposed method can achieve better snippet extraction performance than the previous methods.

Recent recommender system uses a method of combining collaborative filtering system and content based filtering system in order to solve sparsity and first rater problem in collaborative filtering system. Collaborative filtering systems use a database about user preferences to predict additional topics. Content based filtering systems provide recommendations by matching user interests with topic attributes. In this paper, we describe a method for discovery of user preference through combining two techniques for recommendation that allows the application of machine learning algorithm. The proposed collaborative filtering method clusters user using genetic algorithm based on items categorized by Naive Bayes classifier and the content based filtering method builds user profile through extracting user interest using relevance feedback. We evaluate our method on a large database of user ratings for web document and it significantly outperforms previously proposed methods.

It has been known that multiuser MIMO systems have better performance than single-user MIMO systems. However, multiuser MIMO systems should eliminate inter-user interferences which are generated by allocating data to multiple users simultaneously There is zero-forcing beamforming (ZFBF) as scheme used widely among algorithms to eliminate inter-user interferences. But, it needs many feedback bits since BS knows quite exact channel state information to use this scheme in real systems. Random beamforming (RBF) was proposed to cope with a defect of ZFBF[1]. RBF is a multiuser scheme to send data to users who have optimal performance with predetermined codebook, each receiver feeds back a index of codeword which has optimal performance within the codebook and its CQI information. [1] assumes that the BS knows perfect CQI information of each receiver but CQI information should be quantized in the real systems. Therefore, in this paper, efficient CQI quantization scheme for RBF system is proposed.

Digital platforms characterized by network effects enable provisioning of various types of services and provide a mechanism for linking producers and consumers. Identifying the key Quality of Service attributes of such platforms is vital for their continued success and growth. In this paper, a set of quality attributes for platforms is first extracted from different extant quality models. Then actual user feedback data from three platform providers are analysed and mapped against the set of quality attributes to determine the key attributes that are relevant. These findings are corroborated with qualitative data from interviews of different stakeholders. The results show that service quality characteristics are important to the success of platforms. Functional characteristics of platforms assume importance where the digital contributions of the platform is higher. Apart from these, 'fitness for use' as a major determinant of quality is also important in digital platforms.

This study is a preliminary study to develop an evaluation framework necessary for evaluating the DataON platform. The first objective is to examine expert perceptions of the level of DataON platform construction. The second objective is to evaluate the importance, stability, and usability of DataON platform features over OpenAIRE features. The third objective is to derive weights from the evaluation perspective for future DataON platform evaluation. The fourth objective is to examine the preferences of experts in each evaluation perspective and to derive unbiased evaluation criteria. This study used a survey method for potential stakeholders of the DataON platform. The survey included 12 professionals with at least 10 years of experience in the field. The 57 overall functions and services were measured at 3.1 out of 5 for importance. Stability was -0.07 point and usability was measured as -0.05 point. The 42 features and services scored 3.04 points in importance. Stability was -0.58 points and usability was -0.51 points. In particular, the stability and usability scores of the 42 functions and services provided as of 2018 were higher than the total functions were, which is attributed to the stable and user-friendly improvement after development. In terms of the weight of the evaluation point, the collection quality has the highest weight of 27%. Interface usability is then weighted 22%. Subsequently, service quality is weighted 19%, and finally system performance efficiency and user feedback solicitation are equally weighted 16%.

Recently, some studies of a web-based information recommendation technique which provides users with the most necessary information through websites like a web-based shopping mall have been conducted vigorously. In most cases of web information recommendation techniques which rely on a user profile and a specific feedback from users, they require accurate and diverse profile information of users. However, in reality, it is quite difficult to acquire this related information. This paper is aimed to suggest an information prediction technique for a web information service without depending on the users'specific feedback and profile. To achieve this goal, this study is to design and implement a Dynamic Web Information Prediction System which can recommend the most useful and necessary information to users from a large volume of web data by designing and embodying Ensemble Support Vector Machine and hybrid SOM algorithm and eliminating the scarcity problem of web log data.

Progress indicators provide information about downloading progress and the remaining time. Two common forms of indicator are bar and spinner. However, most studies have focused on the form of bar. Therefore, we are going to investigate which patterns of progress spinner show better perceived speed and satisfaction. Also the effects of provision of time information were studied. This study provided the progress spinner with different patterns with 4 seconds and 12 seconds download latencies. The participants evaluated overall satisfaction and perceived downloading speed. As a result, 'Speed Up' patterns showed the higher perceived downloading speed and satisfaction than 'Speed Down' patterns. In 4s situation, it was better with time information was absent. In 12s situation, it was higher in terms of the perceived downloading speed when time information was provided.
