The continuous evaluation of an e-commerce company's web applications is crucial for ensuring customer satisfaction and loyalty. Such evaluations are usually performed as split tests, i.e., the comparison of two slightly different versions of the same webpage with respect to a target metric. Usually, metrics that stakeholders are interested in include completed checkout processes, submitted… Continue reading Usability-based Split Testing or How to infer web interface usability from user interactions
StreamMyRelevance! Predicting Search Result Relevance from Streams of Interactions
Guessing the relevance of delivered search results is one of the biggest issues for today's search engines. The particular problem is that it's difficult to obtain explicit statements from users about whether they found what they were searching for. Clicks are commonly used to guess relevance (using so-called "click models") but they are far from… Continue reading StreamMyRelevance! Predicting Search Result Relevance from Streams of Interactions

2013 in Review: Search Interaction Optimization
On January 1, 2013 I started my PhD studies at Chemnitz University of Technology in cooperation with Unister GmbH, Leipzig. My project is about automatic methods for optimizing search engine results pages (e.g., http://www.google.com/#q=Hello%2C+World!) with respect to result quality and interface usability. The official working title is Search Interaction Optimization: A Design Thinking Approach. During my… Continue reading 2013 in Review: Search Interaction Optimization
