Abstract

In this paper, we present a folksonomy-based approach for implicit user intent extraction during a Web search process. We present a number of result re-ranking techniques based on this representation that can be applied to any Web search engine. We perform a user experiment the results of which indicate that this type of representation is better at context extraction than using the actual textual content of the document.

Intent-based diversification of web search results: metrics and algorithms

We study the problem of web search result diversification in the case where intent based relevance scores are available. A diversified search result will hopefully satisfy the information need of user-L.s who may have different intents. In this context, ...
A k-Nearest-Neighbour Method for Classifying Web Search Results with Data in Folksonomies
WI-IAT '08: Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology - Volume 01

Traditional Web search engines mostly adopt a keyword-based approach. When the keyword submitted by the user is ambiguous, search result usually consists of documents related to various meanings of the keyword, while the user is probably interested in ...
Improving Ranking Consistency for Web Search by Leveraging a Knowledge Base and Search Logs
CIKM '15: Proceedings of the 24th ACM International on Conference on Information and Knowledge Management

In this paper, we propose a new idea called ranking consistency in web search. Relevance ranking is one of the biggest problems in creating an effective web search system. Given some queries with similar search intents, conventional approaches typically ...
