چکیده

Searchers can face problems finding the information they seek. One reason for this is that they may have difficulty devising queries to express their information needs. In this article, we describe an approach that uses unobtrusive monitoring of interaction to proactively support searchers. The approach chooses terms to better represent information needs by monitoring searcher interaction with different representations of top-ranked documents. Information needs are dynamic and can change as a searcher views information. The approach we propose gathers evidence on potential changes in these needs and uses this evidence to choose new retrieval strategies. We present an evaluation of how well our technique estimates information needs, how well it estimates changes in these needs and the appropriateness of the interface support it offers. The results are presented and the avenues for future research identified. 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Utilizing Implicit User Feedback to Improve Interactive Video Retrieval

This paper describes an approach to exploit the implicit user feedback gathered during interactive video retrieval tasks. We propose a framework, where the video is first indexed according to temporal, textual, and visual features and then implicit user feedback analysis is realized using a graph-based methodology. The generated graph encodes the semantic relations between video segments based ...

An Iterative Implicit Feedback Approach to Personalized Search

General information retrieval systems are designed to serve all users without considering individual needs. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to personalized search. It can, in a unified way, exploit and utilize implicit feedback information, such as query logs and immediately viewed documents. Moreover, our approach can implement result re-ranking and query expansion simultaneously an...
