Context preserving navigation redesign under Markovian assumption for responsive websites

作者:

Highlights:

• We model users’ navigation behavior as a Markov process and represent it using a transition probability matrix.

• We define a metric called implied deviation to measure contextual relevance from designer’s perspective.

• Propose deviation minimization framework to improve the contextual relevance from user as well as designer point of views.

• We provide note to practitioner which can help them identify potential of proposed framework better.

• Proposed framework is applied to two real access log data sets from a university examination website.
