We build a probabilistic model to identify implicit local intent queries, and leverage user’s physical location to improve Web search results for these queries. Evaluation on co...
This paper is about a better understanding on the structure and dynamics of science and the usage of these insights for compensating the typical problems that arises in metadata-d...
We consider experiments to measure the quality of a web search algorithm based on how much total time users take to complete assigned search tasks using that algorithm. We first ...
An expert finding is a very common task among enterprise search activities, while its usual retrieval performance is far from the quality of the Web search. Query modeling helps t...
Abstract. This paper explores the possibility of using a modified Expectation-Maximization algorithm to estimate parameters for a simple hierarchical generative model for XML retr...
