Understanding the User - Logging and Interpreting User Interactions in Information Search and Retrieval (UIIR-2009)

چکیده
Surf Canyon has developed real-time implicit personalization technology for web search and implemented the technology in a browser extension that can dynamically modify search engine results pages (Google, Yahoo!, and Live Search). A combination of explicit (queries, reformulations) and implicit (clickthroughs, skips, page reads, etc.) user signals are used to construct a model of instantaneous user intent. This user intent model is combined with the initial search result rankings in order to present recommended search results to the user as well as to reorder subsequent search engine results pages after the initial page. This paper will use data from the first three months of Surf Canyon usage to show that a user intent model built from implicit user signals can dramatically improve the relevancy of search results.

This paper describes the prototype interactive search system being developed within the AutoAdapt project. The AutoAdapt project seeks to enhance the user experience in searching for information and navigating within selected domain collections by providing structured representations of domain knowledge to be directly explored, logged, adapted and updated to reflect user needs. We propose that ...
متن کاملA User-Centered Experiment and Logging Framework for Interactive Information Retrieval
This paper describes an experiment system framework that enables researchers to design and conduct task-based experiments for Interactive Information Retrieval (IIR). The primary focus is on multidimensional logging to obtain rich behavioral data from participants. We summarize initial experiences and highlight the benefits of multidimensional data logging within the system framework.
متن کاملCatching the User - Logging the Information Retrieval Dialogue
This position paper supports the idea of the information dialog between IR systems and users during an information search task. In order to satisfy the communication and interaction needs of humans, IR systems should explicitly support the cognitive abilities of the users. An information dialogue which does not only support an individual query but also the complete search process is necessary. ...

متن کاملIdentification of the underlying factors affecting information seeking behavior of users interacting with the visual search option in EBSCO: a grounded theory study
Background and Aim: Information seeking is interactive behavior of searcher with information systems and this active interaction occurs in a real environment known as background or context. This study investigated the factors influencing the formation of layers of context and their impact on the interaction of the user with search option dialoge in EBSCO database. Method: Data from 28 semi-stru...
