Table 4.2.3 Results of Game theory method and search engines for more complex query<br />
Game theory Ask.com Live Interia Yahoo! Google<br />
Set Coverage 60% 40% 30% 40% 30%<br />
URL to URL 40% 0% 10% 0% 10%<br />
Table 4.2.4 Coverage of Game theory method and search engines for more complex query<br />
Table above presents how the result set returned by the Game theory algorithm covers each<br />
of the result sets of the search engines. It can be observed that in this case set-coverage varies <strong>from</strong><br />
the 30% (Interia, Google) to 60 % (Ask.com). URL to URL coverage is low like in the previous<br />
cases, only Ask.com engine has its URLs covered by 40%. Other non-zero values are assigned to<br />
Google and Interia search engines. Also, like for the previously disputed query, average setcoverage<br />
is higher than in case of the Auction method.<br />
Game theory method returns an URL which is found in 2 out of 5 search engines, as the first<br />
returned result. Like in the previous tested query, the absence URLs at high places which are on<br />
high places in result sets in search engines could be explained by the nature of this algorithm. Those<br />
answers were discarded at the beginning due to the keep payoff not high enough in the first rounds.<br />
Then after the topmost URLs were already selected, situation has changed – the keep payoffs were<br />
high enough - and the overall highly ranked URLs were added to the final answer, however on<br />
lower places.<br />
Like for the previous query, in this case result of the Game theory algorithm backs the thesis<br />
which was stated earlier – if there is an URL which is highly ranked in all input result sets it will be<br />
contained in the result set returned by this method; however not necessarily on some high position.<br />
