Abstract

This paper presents a large scale study of user search behavior on a popular online dictionary website. Our goal is to understand the current status of online dictionary, especially English-Chinese dictionary user search behavior by analyzing 10 million queries on Dict.cn website during the period form late 2006 to early 2007. We believe our findings will help traditional dictionary publishers and online dictionary providers to improve their existing products and services, and further develop innovative services to better serve the unique needs of their users.
