Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to introduce a novel rank aggregation algorithm that leverages graph theory and deep-learning to improve the accuracy and relevance of aggregated rankings in metasearch scenarios, particularly when faced with inconsistent and low-quality rank lists. By strategically selecting a subset of base rankers, the algorithm enhances the quality of the aggregated ranking while using only a subset of base rankers.

Design/methodology/approach

The proposed algorithm leverages a graph-based model to represent the interrelationships between base rankers. By applying Spectral clustering, the algorithm identifies a subset of top-performing base rankers based on their retrieval effectiveness. These selected rankers are then integrated into a sequential deep-learning model to estimate relevance labels for query-document pairs.

Findings

Empirical evaluation on the MQ2007-agg and MQ2008-agg data sets demonstrates the substantial performance gains achieved by the proposed algorithm compared to baseline methods, with an average improvement of 8.7% in MAP and 11.9% in NDCG@1. The algorithm’s effectiveness can be attributed to its ability to effectively integrate diverse perspectives from base rankers and capture complex relationships within the data.

Originality/value

This research presents a novel approach to rank aggregation that integrates graph theory and deep-learning. The author proposes a graph-based model to select the most effective subset for metasearch applications by constructing a similarity graph of base rankers. This innovative method addresses the challenges posed by inconsistent and low-quality rank lists, offering a unique solution to the problem.

Abstract

Purpose

The metaverse offers great potential for creating a new educational environment with unique experiences. Currently, it has been integrated into many stages of education, including classroom study aids, clinical skill interaction and image training simulators, thanks to a new generation of Internet applications. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive systematic review using bibliometric analysis on the metaverse in health education and analyze the trends and patterns of research output within the field.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper conducts bibliometric analysis and follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines to ensure a rigorous and transparent review process. Specifically, this article identifies research questions, develops a data-collection strategy and establishes a screening approach that includes determining relevant keywords and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Findings

A bibliometric analysis is conducted comprising 231 studies from 145 scientific journals to assess the trends, patterns and collaboration networks in research on the use of metaverse technology in health education. This paper provides insights into the research themes, publication trends and countries leading in this field, which can guide future research in this field.

Originality/value

The use of metaverse technology in health education has gained momentum in recent years. Despite this interest, comprehensive studies to review and analyze the existing literature on this topic systematically are lacking. In response, this paper provides a systematic review that explores the potential role of the metaverse in health education. By considering the current research, key trends, research hotspots and opportunities for future investigations are identified. The findings not only shed light on the current state of research but also offer guidance for advancing this exciting field.
