Evaluation of a Collaborative Querying System

چکیده
Collaborative querying seeks to help users formulate queries by sharing expert knowledge or other users’ search experiences. This paper reports evaluation results for a collaborative querying environment. Our results show that compared with traditional information retrieval environments, collaborative querying can lead to faster information seeking when users perform unspecified tasks.

Collaborative querying using the Query Graph Visualizer
Information overload has led to a situation where users are swamped with too much information, resulting in difficulty sifting through material in search of relevant content. We address this issue from the perspective of collaborative querying, an approach that helps users formulate queries by harnessing the collective knowledge of other searchers. We describe the design and implementation of t...

متن کاملQuery Graph Visualizer: A Collaborative Querying System
Collaborative querying seeks to help users formulate an accurate query to a search engine by sharing expert knowledge or other users’ search experiences. One approach to accomplish collaborative querying is to cluster related queries which are stored in query logs and use the related queries as recommendations to users. Here, the kernel step is to identify the similarity between queries. This p...
متن کاملEvaluating the Effectiveness of a Collaborative Querying Environment
Collaborative querying seeks to help users formulate queries by sharing expert knowledge or other users’ search experiences. In previous work, a collaborative query environment (CQE) was developed for a digital library. The system operates by clustering and recommending related queries to users using a hybrid query similarity identification approach. Users can explore the query clusters using a...
متن کاملDesign and Development of a Query Graph Visualization System
Collaborative querying is a technique that harnesses the collective search experiences of users to assist in query formulation. We present the Query Graph Visualizer (QGV), a visual collaborative querying system that recommends related queries to a user’s submitted query through a network visualization scheme. Users are able to explore the query network and select queries for execution on an in...
