Identifying task-based sessions in search engine query logs
2011
Proceedings of the fourth ACM international conference on Web search and data mining - WSDM '11
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 ...
In order to evaluate and compare different approaches, we built, by means of a manual labeling process, a ground-truth where the queries of a given query log have been grouped in tasks. ...
Authors also thank Franco Maria Nardini for the help provided in adapting the original Query Flow Graph implementation. ...

Enhancing personalization via search activity attribution
2014
Proceedings of the 37th international ACM SIGIR conference on Research & development in information retrieval - SIGIR '14
Using logs containing both person and machine identifiers, and logs from a popular commercial search engine, we learn models that accurately assign observed search behaviors to each of different users. ...
However, shared machine usage is common, and in these cases, the activities of multiple users may be generated under a single identifier, creating a potentially noisy signal for applications such as search ...
We consider assignment based on the first query of the search session, and all of the session-based features can be computed by limiting the session to a single query. ...

Identifying the Names of Complex Search Tasks with Task-Related Entities
2016
International Journal of Computational Linguistics and Chinese Language Processing
Conventional search engines usually consider a search query corresponding only to a simple task. ...
To understand and improve user behavior when searching a complex task, we propose an entity-driven complex task model (ECTM) based on exploiting microblogs and query logs. ...
Nevertheless, a single user's search session from query logs may not be sufficient in identifying complex search tasks since complex tasks may cross search sessions or be interleaved in a single search ...

Identifying Real-Life Complex Task Names with Task-Intrinsic Entities from Microblogs
2014
Proceedings of the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (Volume 2: Short Papers)
A complex task thus needs to submit several queries in order to seeking each of entities. ...
Understanding complex tasks can allow a search engine to suggest related entities and help users explicitly assign their ongoing tasks. ...
Lucchese et al. (2011) tried to identify task-based sessions in query logs by semantic-based features extracted from Wiktionary and Wikipedia to overcome lack of semantic information. ...

How medical expertise influences web search interaction
2008
Proceedings of the 31st annual international ACM SIGIR conference on Research and development in information retrieval - SIGIR '08
In this poster we present findings from a log-based study into how medical domain experts search the Web for information related to their expertise, as compared with non-experts. ...
We find differences in sites visited, query vocabulary, and search behavior. ...
To address this concern we developed two methods to identify comparable tasks. For one, we identified search sessions that began with the same query. ...

Predicting implicit search behaviors usinglog analysis
2018
International Journal of Engineering & Technology
Search engines provide ranked information based on the query given by the user. Understanding user search behavior is an important task for satisfaction of the users with the needed information. ...
These details will be available in the dataset of web search log. ...
Web search logs contain user activities towards search engines, such as queries, reading time and clicks. Search trails store the prints left by users of search engines in their search processes. ...

Characterizing and predicting search engine switching behavior
2009
Proceeding of the 18th ACM conference on Information and knowledge management - CIKM '09
In this paper we present a study of search engine switching behavior that combines largescale log-based analysis and survey data. ...
We characterize aspects of switching behavior, and develop and evaluate predictive models of switching behavior using features of the active query, the current session, and user search history. ...
Any personally identifiable information was removed from the logs prior to analysis. From these logs we extracted search sessions. Every session began with a query issued to Google, Yahoo! ...
