Boolean Queries for News Monitoring: Suggesting New Query Terms to Expert Users
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we evaluate query suggestion for Boolean queries in a news monitoring system. Users of this system receive news articles that match their running query on a daily basis. Because the news for a topic continuously changes, the queries need regular updating. We first investigated the users’ working process through interviews and then evaluated multiple query suggestion methods based on pseudo-relevance feedback. The best performing method generates at least one relevant term among 5 suggestions for 25% of the searches. We found that expert users of news retrieval software are critical in their selection of query terms. Nevertheless, they judged the demo application as clear and potentially useful in their work.

The relevance between the documents found and the query searched depends on the user observation and increases the complexity of ranking algorithms. The other issue is that users often explore just the first 10 to 20 results while millions of pages related to a query may exist. So search engines have to use sui...

This report presents a study on assisting users in building queries to perform real-time searches in a news and social media monitoring system. The system accepts complex queries, and we assist the user by suggesting related keywords or entities. We do this by leveraging two different word representations: (1) probabilistic topic models, and (2) unsupervised word embeddings. We compare the vect...
