Exploration-exploitation tradeoff in interactive relevance feedback
2010
Proceedings of the 19th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management - CIKM '10
Optimizing such an exploration-exploitation tradeoff is key to the optimization of the overall utility of relevance feedback to a user in the entire session of relevance feedback. ...
Experiment results show that the proposed learning approach can effectively optimize the exploration-exploitation tradeoff and outperforms the traditional relevance feedback approach which only does exploitation ...
This work is a first step in addressing the new problem of optimizing the exploration-exploitation tradeoff in interactive feedback. There are many interesting directions to further explore. ...

Supporting exploratory search tasks with interactive user modeling
2013
Proceedings of the American Society for Information Science and Technology
Contrary to traditional interactions, such as query based search, query suggestions, or relevance feedback, interactive user modeling allows a user to perceive the state of the user model at all times ...
The results show that interactive user modeling can help users to more effectively find relevant, novel and diverse information without compromises in task execution time. ...

Improving the Initial Image Retrieval Set by Inter-Query Learning with One-Class SVMs
[chapter]
2003
Intelligent Systems Design and Applications
Relevance Feedback attempts to reduce the semantic gap between a user's perception of similarity and a feature-based representation of an image by asking the user to provide feedback regarding the relevance ...
In this paper, we focus on the possibility of incorporating prior experience (obtained from the historical interaction of users with the system) to improve the retrieval performance on future queries. ...
Relevance feedback attempts to overcome these problems by gathering semantic information from user interaction. ...

Interactive Intent Modeling for Exploratory Search
2018
ACM Transactions on Information Systems
Consequently, users can discover and explore information relevant to their tasks rather than optimizing results to be maximally relevant for an individual query, which may be suboptimal in the first place ...
The needs of the user may evolve throughout the search session, and the user may need assistance in directing the search to explore initially unpredictable but highly relevant information. ...
We thank all researchers participating in HWFA, Multivire, D2I, and Re: Know for their help and assistance. ...

Explore-exploit in top-N recommender systems via Gaussian processes
2014
Proceedings of the 8th ACM Conference on Recommender systems - RecSys '14
We propose the CGPRANK algorithm, which exploits prior information specified in terms of a Gaussian process kernel function, which allows to share feedback in three ways: Between positions in a list, between ...
In our experiments, our CGPRANK approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art multi-armed bandit and learning-to-rank methods, with an 18% increase in clicks. ...
CGPRANK navigates the exploration-exploitation tradeoff by predicting performance of as yet unexplored lists using nonparametric Gaussian process models, whose regularity is captured in the kernel function ...

Iterative relevance feedback with adaptive exploration/exploitation trade-off
2012
Proceedings of the 21st ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management - CIKM '12
Here, in contrast with other types of retrieval systems, these two regimes are of great importance since the search initialization is hardly optimal (i.e. the page-zero problem) and the relevance feedback ...
Starting from a query-free approach meant to solve the page-zero problem, we propose an adaptive exploration/exploitation trade-off that transforms the original framework into a versatile retrieval framework ...
Although the "sampling" algorithm does not cover the entire collection anymore, the system continuously estimates the exploration/exploitation tradeoff that suits the user. ...
