In this paper we consider the emotional impact of search tasks within Information Retrieval experiments. We study how search tasks of different types lead to different emotional responses by experimental participants and study the interaction between emotions and other subjective search variables

In this paper, we describe the “Spoken Web Search ” Task, which is being held as part of the 2012 MediaEval campaign. The purpose of this task is to perform audio search in multiple languages, with very little resources being available for each individual language. The data is being taken from

Abstract. Search task difficulty refers to a user’s assessment about the amount of effort required to complete a search task. Our goal in this work is to learn predictive models of search task difficulty. We evaluate features derived from the user’s interaction with the search engine as well

We present methods to automatically identify and recommend sub-tasks to help people explore and accomplish complex search tasks. Although Web searchers often exhibit directed search behaviors such as navigating to a particular Website or locating a particular item of information, many search

of differential labeling on an age appropriate variant of the A-not-B task. Sixty-four 2.5- to 3-year-old children participated in a novel computerized version of the mulitstep multilocation search task. On each trial, children were given one of 4 different types of cues to aid search: no cue, visual cue only

We submitted three runs of the Instance Search task. They are listed as follows: • UCSB UCR VCG 1: This automatic run uses Bag of visual word with MSER+SIFT and Dense sift using svm classifier on chi-sq kernel. • UCSB UCR VCG2: This automatic run uses Bag of visual word with MSER+SIFT and dense

This paper examines a new approach to making the evaluation of personal search systems more feasible. Comparability and diverse coverage of personal search tasks are two main issues in evaluating these systems. To address these issues, the proposed approach relies on identifying the differences
