Ranking with query-dependent loss for web search
Web Search and Data Mining, 2010Queries describe the users' search intent and therefore they play an essential role in the context of ranking for information retrieval and Web search.

Exploring web scale language models for search query processing
The Web Conference, 2010It has been widely observed that search queries are composed in a very different style from that of the body or the title of a document. Many techniques explicitly accounting for this language style discrepancy have shown promising results for ...

Entity Linking for Web Search Queries
2015We consider the problem of linking web search queries to entities from a knowledge base such as Wikipedia. Such linking enables converting a user’s web search session to a footprint in the knowledge base that could be used to enrich the user profile.

Analyzing and evaluating query reformulation strategies in web search logs
International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management, 2009Users frequently modify a previous search query in hope of retrieving better results. These modifications are called query reformulations or query refinements. Existing research has studied how web search engines can propose reformulations, but has given

Adaptive query routing in peer web search
Special interest tracks and posters of the 14th international conference on World Wide Web - WWW '05, 2005An unstructured peer network application was proposed to address the query forwarding problem of distributed search engines and scalability limitations of centralized search engines. Here we present novel techniques to improve local adaptive routing, showing they perform significantly better than a simple learning scheme driven by query response ...

Investigation of partial query proximity in web search
The Web Conference, 2008Proximity of query terms in a document is an important criterion in IR. However, no investigation has been made to determine the most useful term sequences for which proximity should be considered.

Query sampling for ranking learning in web search
Proceedings of the 32nd international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval, 2009Learning to rank has become a popular approach to build a ranking model for Web search recently. Based on our observation, the constitution of the training set will greatly influence the performance of the learned ranking model. Meanwhile, the number of queries in Web search is nearly infinite and the human labeling cost is expensive, hence a subset of

Predicting query reformulation during web searching
CHI '09 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2009his paper reports results from a study in which we automatically classified the query reformulation patterns for 964,780 Web searching sessions (composed of 1,523,072 queries) in order to predict what the next query reformulation would be. We employed an n-gram modeling approach to describe the probability of searchers transitioning from one query ...

Query Difficulty Prediction for Web Image Search
IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, 2012Image search plays an important role in our daily life. Given a query, the image search engine is to retrieve images related to it. However, different queries have different search difficulty levels. For some queries, they are easy to be retrieved (the search engine can return very good search results).

Transactional Query Identification in Web Search
2005User queries on the Web can be classified into three types according to user’s intention: informational query, navigational query and transactional query. In this paper, a query type classification method and Service Link information for transactional queries are proposed. Web mediated activity is usually implemented by hyperlinks.
