Structured Information Retrieval and Quantum Theory

Information Retrieval (IR) systems try to identify documents relevant to user queries, which are representations of user information needs. Interaction, context, and document structure are three important and active themes in IR research. We present how we propose to model the task of Structured IR (SIR) based on a QT inspired framework, with a focus on how to exploit user contextual information and user interaction in the search process.
