SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DEDUCING USER INTERACTION PATTERNS BASED ON LIMITED ACTIVITIES

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method and system for determining user interaction patterns. The method and system comprises generating a plurality of atomic sessions by grouping search events related to a user and a query string using a search engine. The method and system includes using the atomic sessions, constructing a first query chain based on actions of the user to satisfy an information need. The method and system includes dividing the first query chain into at least one smaller chain by both a time factor and a query similarity factor. And the method and system includes determining user-interaction patterns relating to the search engine using the at least one smaller chain.
