Abstract
In order to find useful information efficiently among vast amounts of information, Pirolli built the basic social information foraging (SIF) model (basic SIF model) and proposed related theories. Traditional information foraging theory proposed that information foraging process is divided into within-patch and between-patch. This paper focused on the interference effect between patches in the social information foraging environment, which has not been covered by the SIF model. Then this paper proposed that group diversity play an important role in this process and built the interference cost model of this process to improve the social information foraging model. Experimental results show the correctness and practical value of this model.
