Abstract

Identifying content for which a user may search has a variety of applications, including ranking and recommendation. In this poster, we examine how pre-search context can be used to predict content that the user will seek before they have even specified a search query. We call this anticipatory search. Using a log-based approach, we compare different methods for predicting the content to be searched using different attributes of the pre-query context and behavioral signals from previous visitors to the most recent browse URL. Each method covers different cases and shows promise for query-free anticipatory search on the Web.

Predicting Search Intent Based on Pre-Search Context
SIGIR '15: Proceedings of the 38th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval

While many studies have been conducted on query understanding, there is limited understanding on why users start searches and how to predict search intent. In this paper, we propose to study this important but less explored problem. Our key intuition is ...
Improving Ranking Consistency for Web Search by Leveraging a Knowledge Base and Search Logs
CIKM '15: Proceedings of the 24th ACM International on Conference on Information and Knowledge Management

In this paper, we propose a new idea called ranking consistency in web search. Relevance ranking is one of the biggest problems in creating an effective web search system. Given some queries with similar search intents, conventional approaches typically ...
Identifying popular search goals behind search queries to improve web search ranking
AIRS'11: Proceedings of the 7th Asia conference on Information Retrieval Technology

Web users usually have a certain search goal before they submit a search query. However, many laypersons can't transform their search goals into suitable queries. Thus, understanding original search goals behind a query is very important for search ...
