Generating vague neighbourhoods through data mining of passive web data (2017)
Journal Article
Brindley, P., Goulding, J., & Wilson, M. L. (in press). Generating vague neighbourhoods through data mining of passive web data. International Journal of Geographical Information Science, 32(3), https://doi.org/10.1080/13658816.2017.1400549

Neighbourhoods have been described as \the building blocks of public services society". Their subjective nature, however, and the resulting difficulties in collecting data, means that in many countries there are no officially defined neighbourhoods e...

Complex search task: how to make a phone safe for a child (2017)
Journal Article
Rutter, S., Blinzler, V., Ye, C., Twidale, M. B., & Wilson, M. L. (2017). Complex search task: how to make a phone safe for a child. CEUR Workshop Proceedings, 1798,

There are many factors in task design that might make it ‘complex’: having multiple components, having multiple cross-dependent components, tasks that involve comparison, evaluation, estimation, or learning. In this paper, we discuss a case study of... Read More about Complex search task: how to make a phone safe for a child.

Measuring mental workload in IIR user studies with fNIRS (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Wilson, M. L., Alsuraykh, N., & Maior, H. A. (2017). Measuring mental workload in IIR user studies with fNIRS.

Gathering neuro-physiological data during user studies, and analysing the continuous data they produce, typically involves making a tradeoff between detail and practical utility. is paper describes our long-term work-in-progress towards developing...

The Tetris model of resolving information needs within the information seeking process (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Wilson, M. L. (2017). The Tetris model of resolving information needs within the information seeking process.

Theoretical abstractions, of many different aspects of search, have played a crucial role in driving research into human information seeking and retrieval forward. From models of the Information Seeking Process, to how we perceive search systems, the... Read More about The Tetris model of resolving information needs within the information seeking process.
