Mining Broad Latent Query Aspects from Search Sessions
- KDD '09
, 2009
"... Search queries are typically very short, which means they are often underspecified or have senses that the user did not think of. A broad latent query aspect is a set of keywords that succinctly represents one particular sense, or one particular information need, that can aid users in reformulating ..."

such queries. We extract such broad latent aspects from query reformulations found in historical search session logs. We propose a framework under which the problem of extracting such broad latent aspects reduces to that of optimizing a formal objective function under constraints on the total number of aspects
Beyond the session timeout: automatic hierarchical segmentation of search topics in query logs
- In Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM
, 2008
"... Most analysis of web search relevance and performance takes a single query as the unit of search engine interaction. When studies attempt to group queries together by task or session, a timeout is typically used to identify the boundary. However, users query search engines in order to accomplish tas ..."

REAL LIFE, REAL USERS, AND REAL NEEDS: A STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF USER QUERIES ON THE WEB
, 2000
"... We analyzed transaction logs containing 51,473 queries posed by 18,113 users of Excite, a major Internet search service. We provide data on: (i) sessions- changes in queries during a session, number of pages viewed, and use of relevance feedback, (ii) queries- the number of search terms, and the u ..."

Analysis of a very large AltaVista query log
, 1998
"... In this paper we present an analysis of a 280 GB AltaVista Search Engine query log consisting of approximately 1 billion entries for search requests over a period of six weeks. This represents approximately 285 million user sessions, each an attempt to fill a single information need. We present an a ..."

Query recommendation using query logs in search engines
- IN INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON CLUSTERING INFORMATION OVER THE WEB (CLUSTWEB, IN CONJUNCTION WITH EDBT), CREETE
, 2004
"... In this paper we propose a method that, given a query submitted to a search engine, suggests a list of related queries. The related queries are based in previously issued queries, and can be issued by the user to the search engine to tune or redirect the search process. The method proposed is based ..."

is based on a query clustering process in which groups of semantically similar queries are identified. The clustering process uses the content of historical preferences of users registered in the query log of the search engine. The method not only discovers the related queries, but also ranks them
Using terminological feedback for web search refinement: A log-based study
- In Proceedings of the 26th Annual International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval
"... Although interactive query reformulation has been actively studied in the laboratory, little is known about the actual behavior of web searchers who are offered terminological feedback along with their search results. We analyze log sessions for two groups of users interacting with variants of the A ..."

Detecting session boundaries from Web user logs
- In Proceedingsof of the BCS-IRSG 22nd Annual Colloquium on Information Retrieval Research
, 2000
"... Detecting session boundaries on the Web is important for several reasons. Firstly, it is important to establish a common context for various statistics relating to user sessions and frequency of user activities. More specifically, it is important to detect some boundaries in order to group related ..."

Identifying task-based sessions in search engine query logs
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE FOURTH ACM INTERNATIONAL
, 2011

The research challenge addressed in this paper is to devise effective techniques for identifying task-based sessions, i.e. sets of possibly non contiguous queries issued by the user of a Web Search Engine for carrying out a given task. In order to evaluate and compare different approaches, we built, ..."

Multitasking during web search sessions
- Information Processing & Management
"... A user’s single session with a Web search engine or information retrieval (IR) system may consist of seeking information on single or multiple topics, and switch between tasks or multitasking information behavior. Most Web search sessions consist of two queries of approximately two words. However, s ..."

A sample of two-query and three or more query sessions were filtered from AltaVista transaction logs from 2002 and qualitatively analyzed. Sessions ranged in duration from less than a minute to a few
Mining Search Engine Query Logs for Query Recommendation
- IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 15TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WORLD WIDE WEB (WWW’06
, 2006

In order to get a more comprehensive solution, we combine two methods together. On the one hand, we study and model search engin ..."

to compensate for the high sparsity of real query log data, and more specifically, the shortness of most query sessions. To evaluate our method, we use one hundred day worth query logs from SINA' search engine to do o#-line mining. Then we analyze three independent editors evaluations on a query test set
