  • Gender and Information Literacy: Evaluation of Gender Differences in a Student Survey of Information Sources
    Gender and Information Literacy: Evaluation of Gender Differences in a Student Survey of Information Sources Arthur Taylor and Heather A. Dalal Information literacy studies have shown that college students use a va- riety of information sources to perform research and commonly choose Internet sources over traditional library sources. Studies have also shown that students do not appear to understand the information quality issues concerning Internet information sources and may lack the information literacy skills to make good choices concerning the use of these sources. No studies currently provide clear guidance on how gender might influ- ence the information literacy skills of students. Such guidance could help improve information literacy instruction. This study used a survey of college-aged students to evaluate a subset of student information literacy skills in relation to Internet information sources. Analysis of the data collected provided strong indications of gender differences in information literacy skills. Female respondents ap- peared to be more discerning than males in evaluating Internet sources. Males appeared to be more confident in the credibility and accuracy of the results returned by search engines. Evaluation of other survey responses strengthened our finding of gender differentiation in informa- tion literacy skills. ollege students today have come of age surrounded by a sea of information delivered from an array of sources available at their fingertips at any time of the day or night. Studies have shown that the most common source of information for college-aged students is the Internet. Information gathered in this environment is most likely found using a commercial search engine that returns sources of dubious quality using an unknown algorithm.

Other top search engines include Ask.com (aka as Ask Jeeves), Bing (formerly called MSN Search), and Yahoo! (and see General purpose, product, and visual search engines below). According to data published by Experian Hitwise http://www.hitwise.com/us/datacenter/main/dashboard-23984.html in June 2011, Google still heavily dominates the market with a share of about 68%, while the market share of Yahoo and Microsoft’s Bing currently is something just under 14% for both; Ask.com is in fourth place with around 2.6%, and AOL Search in fifth place with about 1.4%. The picture is roughly the same if ranked by number of visits, although Bing does better than Yahoo in this category.

  • Query Expansion Based on Crowd Knowledge for Code Search
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SERVICES COMPUTING, VOL. 9, NO. X, XXXXX 2016 1 Query Expansion Based on Crowd Knowledge for Code Search Liming Nie, He Jiang, Zhilei Ren, Zeyi Sun, and Xiaochen Li Abstract—As code search is a frequent developer activity in software development practices, improving the performance of code search is a critical task. In the text retrieval based search techniques employed in the code search, the term mismatch problem is a critical language issue for retrieval effectiveness. By reformulating the queries, query expansion provides effective ways to solve the term mismatch problem. In this paper, we propose Query Expansion based on Crowd Knowledge (QECK), a novel technique to improve the performance of code search algorithms. QECK identifies software-specific expansion words from the high quality pseudo relevance feedback question and answer pairs on Stack Overflow to automatically generate the expansion queries. Furthermore, we incorporate QECK in the classic Rocchio’s model, and propose QECK based code search method QECKRocchio. We conduct three experiments to evaluate our QECK technique and investigate QECKRocchio in a large-scale corpus containing real-world code snippets and a question and answer pair collection. The results show that QECK improves the performance of three code search algorithms by up to 64 percent in Precision, and 35 percent in NDCG. Meanwhile, compared with the state-of-the-art query expansion method, the improvement of QECKRocchio is 22 percent in Precision, and 16 percent in NDCG. Index Terms—Code search, crowd knowledge, query expansion, information retrieval, question & answer pair Ç 1INTRODUCTION ODE search is a frequent developer activity in software Obviously, it is not an easy task to formulate a good query, Cdevelopment practices, which has been a part of soft- which depends greatly on the experience of the developer and ware development for decades [47].
