Less-Conscious Information Retrieval Techniques for Location Based Services

 

Kazutoshi Sumiya, Kwansei Gakuin University (Hyogo, Japan)

 

We have developed methods which can deal with the users' interaction without the conventional conscious searching manner. When a user generally performs map operations with certain information retrieval intentions (less-conscious), a system using our method can detect the specific operation sequences. For example, if the user performs zooming-in and centering operations, the user is narrowing down the search area to a certain lo cation. We define such operation sequences as chunks. The system detects the chunks and uses them to analyze the user's operations and thereby detect the user's intentions. We have developed several prototype systems based on the proposed methods.

 

Prof. Kazutoshi Sumiya received his BE and ME degrees in Engineering from Kobe University in 1986 and 1988, respectively. Then he joined Panasonic (Matsushita Electric Industrial Co). He received his Ph.D in Information media from Kobe University in 1998. He left the company and became a lecturer at Kobe University in 1999, and then was promoted to an associate professor in 2000. He became an associate professor in 2001 at Kyoto University, a professor at University of Hyogo in 2004 and a professor at Kwansei Gakuin University in 2015. At Kobe University and Kyoto University, he developed information dissemination systems and fusion technique for broadcast media and network media. At University of Hyogo and Kwansei Gakuin University, he is developing next-generation information techniques. He was a chair of Database System special interest group (DBS) in the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ) and a co-editor of IPSJ Transaction on Database. He is a member of IEEE Computer Society and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
