چکیده
Many different ranking algorithms based on content and context have been used in web search engines to find pages based on a user query. Furthermore, to achieve better performance some new solutions combine different algorithms. In this paper we use simulated click-through data to learn how to combine many content and context features of web pages. This method is simple and practical to use with actual click-through data in a live search engine. The proposed approach is evaluated using the LETOR benchmark and we found it is competitive to Ranking SVM based on user judgments.

An Ensemble Click Model for Web Document Ranking
Annually, web search engine providers spend more and more money on documents ranking in search engines result pages (SERP). Click models provide advantageous information for ranking documents in SERPs through modeling interactions among users and search engines. Here, three modules are employed to create a hybrid click model; the first module is a PGM-based click model, the second module in a d...

Any scientific activity requires awareness of previous related activities. Citation networks are the networks in which each document is compared as a link of a chain with its previous and next documents, and the documents with the highest number of citations are considered as the most effective ones in a domain. Most of the introduced methods use direct citations for valuing the documents. One ...

1* Min Zhao is currently researcher at NEC Lab China, Beijing. Abstract. This paper proposes a new approach to ranking the documents retrieved by a search engine using click-through data. The goal is to make the final ranked list of documents accurately represent users’ preferences reflected in the click-through data. Our approach combines the ranking result of a traditional IR algorithm (BM25)...
متن کاملModeling Perceived Relevance for Tail Queries without Click-Through Data
Click-through data has been used in various ways in Web search such as estimating relevance between documents and queries. Since only search snippets are perceived by users before issuing any clicks, the relevance induced by clicks are usually called perceived relevance which has proven to be quite useful for Web search. While there is plenty of click data for popular queries, very little infor...
