Abstract
One of the major problems for search at Web scale is that the search results on the large scale data might be huge and the users have to browse to find the most relevant ones. Plus, due to the reason for the context, user requirement may diverse although the input query may be the same. In this paper, we try to achieve scalability for Web search through social relation diversity of different users. Namely, we utilize one of the major context for users, social relations, to help refining the search process. Social network based group interest models are developed according to collaborative networks, and is designed to be used in more wider range of Web scale search tasks. The experiments are based on the SwetoDBLP dataset, and we can conclude that proposed method is potentially effective to help users find most relevant search results in the Web environment.

Folksonomy-based personalized search and ranking in social media services
In recent years, social Web users have been overwhelmed by the huge numbers of social media available. Consequentially, users have trouble finding social media suited to their needs. To help such users retrieve useful social media content, we propose a ...
Personalizing Search via Automated Analysis of Interests and Activities
We formulate and study search algorithms that consider a user's prior interactions with a wide variety of content to personalize that user's current Web search. Rather than relying on the unrealistic assumption that people will precisely specify their ...
