==Papers== [http://malt.ml.cmu.edu/mw/index.php/Hassan_et_al,_ICWSM_2009 Ahmed Hassan, Dragomir R. Radev, Junghoo Cho, Amruta Joshi. 2009. Content Based Recommendation and Summarization in the Blogosphere. The International Conference on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM 2009).] [http://malt.ml.cmu.edu/mw/index.php/Document_representation_and_query_expansion_models_for_blog_recommendation J. Arguello, J. L. Elsas, J. Callan, and J. G. Carbonell. Document representation and query expansion models for blog recommendation. In Proc. of the 2nd Intl. Conf. on Weblogs and Social Media (ICWSM), 2008. ] == Problem == Hassan et al. were trying to target the problem of ranking documents in a set based on their similarity to identify the representative blogs in a given set usually based on different topics, similar to blog summarization.<br> <p>Arguello et al. were trying to target the problem of blog retrieval - retrieving ranked list of blogs relevant to the given user query.</p> <p>Basically these two papers are trying to achieve different goals. Hassan et al. proposed methods of ranking blogs within a given topic collection. This ranking of blogs based on their importance in a topic collection can be useful for blog search tasks. Arguello et al. experimented with various models to try and improve the blog search results.</p> == Big Idea == The two papers differ in their respective central ideas as they both try to solve different problems as mentioned in Problem section above. They do use a common data set to evaluate their experiments, but their results can't be compared due to the difference in the problem they are addressing. == Method == == Dataset Used == Hassan et al. used the [[UsesDataset::TREC BLOG06]] and [[UsesDataset::UCLA Blogocenter]] datasets for experiments, whereas Arguello et al. used only the [[UsesDataset::TREC BLOG06]] dataset for its experiments. == Other Questions == #How much time did you spend reading the (new, non-wikified) paper you summarized? 3 hours #How much time did you spend reading the old wikified paper? 1 hour #How much time did you spend reading the summary of the old paper? 20 min #How much time did you spend reading background material? 1 hour #Was there a study plan for the old paper? No ##if so, did you read any of the items suggested by the study plan? and how much time did you spend with reading them? Study Plan Not Available #Give us any additional feedback you might have about this assignment.
