TLDR
A second evaluation method based on measuring user's performance using hypertext using a semantic similarity measure and a correlations between shortest paths in the hypertext structure is proposed.Abstract:
We present two methods for evaluating automatically generated hypertext links. The first method is based on correlations between shortest paths in the hypertext structure and a semantic similarity measure. Experimental results with the first method show the degree to which the hypertext conversion process approximates semantic similarity. The semantic measure is in turn only an approximation of a user's internal model of the corpus. Therefore we propose a second evaluation method based on measuring user's performance using hypertext. Finally, we discuss the advantages and disadvantages of computer versus human evaluation, respectively.read more

Lost in hyperspace: metrics and mental models
Malcolm Otter,Hilary Johnson +1 more
TL;DR: Suggestions are made for the design of more effective hypertext systems that minimise lostness, and a new approach to designing such systems, based on the mental models of users, is put forward.

TL;DR: Phrasier, an interactive system for browsing, querying and relating documents within a digital library that exploits keyphrases that have been automatically extracted from source documents to create links to similar documents and to suggest appropriate query phrases to users.

Topic-based browsing within a digital library using keyphrases
Steve Jones,Gordon W. Paynter +1 more
TL;DR: A method for automatically introducing topic-based links into documents to support browsing in digital libraries and an evaluation shows that keyphraseÐbased similarity measures work as well as a popular full-text retrieval system for finding relevant destination documents.
User perceptions of information quality in world wide web information retrieval behaviour
TL;DR: Perceptions of IQ are examined from the perspective of eighty “academic” high-end users, who regularly engage the Web and its search engines to search for and retrieve high-quality information related to their research, teaching and learning.

The Dexter hypertext reference model
TL;DR: The Dexter hypertext reference model as mentioned in this paper is an attempt to capture, both formally and informally, the important abstractions found in a wide range of existing and future hypertext systems, providing a principled basis for comparing systems as well as for developing interchange and interoperability standards.

TL;DR: A statistical method is described called latent semantic indexing, which models the implicit higher order structure in the association of words and objects and improves retrieval performance by up to 30%.

Measuring usability: preference vs. performance
Jakob Nielsen,Jonathan Levy +1 more
TL;DR: Measurable usability parameters fall into two broad categories: subjective user preference measures, assessing how much the users like the system, and objective performance measures, which measure how capable the users are at using the system.
