7.7. Experiments
In this section, we study the behavior of TDV computation, the filtering system in both centralized and NoSQL environments. We will also show the impact of several parameters (i.e. novelty threshold, diversity and size of the sliding window) with a real dataset of items. Finally, thanks to a user validation, we study the quality of our system with different settings and a periodic filtering based on a top-k approach.
7.7.1. Implementation and description of datasets
For our experiments, we used a subset from a real dataset of items acquired over an 8-month campaign from March to October 2010 [TRA 14]. Subscriptions were generated by using the ALIAS sampling method [WAL 77]. It produced 10M subscriptions that follow the distribution of term occurrences on the Web, and the Web query size reported in [BEI 04], based on the vocabulary of 1.5M distinct terms extracted from items. It is characterized among others by a maximum size equal to 12 terms and on average 2.2 terms...
