Detecting controversy on the web
2013
Proceedings of the 22nd ACM international conference on Conference on information & knowledge management - CIKM '13
We demonstrate the applicability of our approach by validating it on a set of webpages drawn from seed queries. ...
Our approach (1) maps a webpage to a set of neighboring Wikipedia articles which were labeled on a controversiality metric; (2) coalesces those labels into an estimate of the webpage's controversiality ...
Recent work includes diversifying search results for controversial queries [6] , with less focus on detection that a query is controversial in the first place. ...

Sentiment diversification with different biases
2013
Proceedings of the 36th international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '13
Prior search result diversification work focuses on achieving topical variety in a ranked list, typically equally across all aspects. ...
Then, we utilize this information in 3 different ways to diversify results according to various sentiment biases: (1) Equal diversification to achieve a balanced and unbiased representation of all sentiments ...
Prior work focusing on opinion diversity is very recent: Demartini and Siersdorfer describe a study about opinions in search results as given by popular search engines for controversial queries [11] . ...

SogouQ: The First Large-Scale Test Collection with Click Streams Used in a Shared-Task Evaluation
[chapter]
2020
Evaluating Information Retrieval and Access Tasks
Search logs are very precious for information retrieval studies. ...
It is the first large-scale query logs used in a shared-task evaluation (i.e., the NTCIR tasks). ...
For example, the results of query "flower" now may contain image results and encyclopedia results as well as usual Web search results. We refer to such "types" of search results as verticals. ...

Dear search engine: what's your opinion about...?
2010
Proceedings of the 3rd International Semantic Search Workshop on - SEMSEARCH '10
This paper provides a preliminary study about opinions contained in search engine results for controversial queries such as "cloning" or "immigration". ...
In a preliminary empirical analysis, we compare up to 50 results from 3 commercial search engines on 14 controversial queries to study the relation between sentiments, topics, and rankings. ...
On the other hand, it is not clear what a "good" overview should be if we want to diversify opinions in search results. ...

Design Challenges for a Multi-Perspective Search Engine
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
Many users turn to document retrieval systems (e.g. search engines) to seek answers to controversial questions. ...
We use the prototype system to conduct a user survey in order to assess the utility of our paradigm, as well as understanding the user information needs for controversial queries. ...
Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank Disha Jindal and Hegler Tissot for their valuable feedback throughout the development of the prototype search engine. ...

Do Web search engines suppress controversy?

Summary of case studies: How much is controversy suppressed? Each controversy was well represented on the Web in search results posed with the right query. ...

History by Diversity
2016
Proceedings of the 2016 ACM on Conference on Human Information Interaction and Retrieval - CHIIR '16
To support this search strategy, we introduce the notion of a Historical Query Intent to explicitly model a historian's search task and define an aspect-time diversification problem over news archives. ...
We test our methods by constructing a test collection based on The New York Times Collection with a workload of 30 queries of historical intent assessed manually. ...
Baselines We evaluate the effectiveness of H D at diversifying the search results produced by four effective classes of baselines: Non-temporal Baselines : The first baseline that we considered is the ...

AspecTiles
2012
Proceedings of the 35th international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '12
A diversified search result for an underspecified query generally contains web pages in which there are answers that are relevant to different aspects of the query. ...
These results suggest that simple interfaces like AspecTiles can enhance the search performance and search experience of the user when their queries are underspecified. ...
The query field of the original TREC topic served as the initial query for each task, so that each participant began his task by looking at a diversified search result. ...

Search Result Diversification
2015
Foundations and Trends in Information Retrieval
In particular, different levels of ambiguity may entail different needs for diversifying the search results. ...
As discussed throughout this survey, a central approach for tackling query ambiguity is to diversify the search results. ...

Mining Relevant Time for Query Subtopics in Web Archives
2015
Proceedings of the 24th International Conference on World Wide Web - WWW '15 Companion
This task is especially useful for one important ranking problem in the web archive context, the time-aware search result diversification. ...
However, searching in this unique longitudinal collection of huge redundancy (pages of near-identical content are crawled all over again) is completely different from searching over the web. ...
Connection with the time-based search result diversification Search result diversification is meant for diversifying the result list so that the top-k covers all the aspects of an ambiguous query. ...

I will present preliminary results on learning claim vector representations (embeddings) from ClaimsKG and their application for the task of automatic fact-checking. ...
The distribution of truth values hints at this being a highly controversial topic with potentially highly polarized Viewpoints. ...

Existing commercial search engines often struggle to represent different perspectives of a search query. ...
Argument retrieval systems address this limitation of search engines and provide both positive (PRO) and negative (CON) perspectives about a user's information need on a controversial topic (e.g., climate ...
