Extracting news-related queries from web query log

In this poster, we present a method for extracting queries related to real-life events, or news-related queries, from large web query logs. The method employs query frequencies and search over a collection of recent news. News-related queries can be helpful for disambiguating user information needs, as well as for effective online news processing. The performed evaluation proves that the method yields good precision. Categories and Subject Descriptors H.3.3 [Information Storage and Retrieval]: Information Search and Retrieval. General Terms Algorithms, Experimentation, Verification.
