Page segment recommendation using N-gram for sensemaking tasks based on note taking

Internet has become an increasingly important tool for everyone on the planet. The large amount of information accessible from the internet makes web searching a common activity. Yet, such a common activity could take a long time to achieve desired results. Services such as information retrieval, interpretation management and sharing could greatly enhance efficiency of a search. However, such supports are not usually included in common search engines. Sensemaking support tools, on the other hand, can be used to tackle this challenge. Most sensemaking tools highlight on providing some kinds of structured decision support information for individuals and collaborated groups through history, annotation and document analysis rather than aiding users to find what they need. NorCost is, therefore, proposed to fulfill such overlooked objectives of searching.
