PhD Seminar • Data Systems — Studying Query Abandonment Behavior in Web Search

Please note: This PhD seminar will be given online.

Mustafa Abualsaud, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Mark D. Smucker

When search results fail to satisfy users’ information needs, users often reformulate their search query in the hopes of receiving better results. In many cases, users abandon their queries without clicking on any search results.

PhD Defence • Computer Graphics — Deformation-Driven Element Packing

Please note: This PhD defence will be given online.

Reza Adhitya Saputra, PhD candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Craig Kaplan

A packing is an arrangement of geometric elements within a container region in the plane. Elements are united to communicate the overall container shape, but each is large enough to be appreciated individually. Creating a packing is challenging since an artist should arrange compatible elements so that their boundaries interlock with each other.
