Search improvement via automatic query reformulation
1991
ACM Transactions on Information Systems
This prototype augments the searching capabilities of novice users by providing automatic query reformulation to improve the search results, and automatic ranking of the retrieved passages to speed the ...
User studies have indicated that searchers use vocabulary incorrectly and do not take full advantage of iteration to improve their queries. ...
Eventually, automatic user assistance modules could be added and tested. 4

Automatic Identification and Contextual Reformulation of Implicit System-Related Queries
2016
Proceedings of the 39th International ACM SIGIR conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval - SIGIR '16
We show that such queries: (1) can be detected with high precision, (2) are common, and (3) can be automatically reformulated to substantially improve retrieval performance in these fall-through scenarios ...
In this paper we analyze a 3 month log of web search queries posed via the Cortana virtual assistant. ...
For implicit system queries, reformulation improved between 60% -65% of all individual queries (wins), and negatively impacted 25% -29% of queries (losses). ...

Automatic query reformulation with syntactic operators to alleviate search difficulty
2011
Proceedings of the 20th ACM international conference on Information and knowledge management - CIKM '11
As a negative feedback strategy, syntactic operator-based query reformulation also shows promising results in improving search results for difficult queries as compared with existing methods. ...
In this paper, we propose to automatically reformulate queries that do not work well by selectively adding syntactic operators. ...

PRESY: A Context Based Query Reformulation Tool for Information Retrieval on the Web
2010
Journal of Computer Science
So as we can see the reformulation of users' initial queries improves the pertinence of returned content. ...
For that reason, we believe that a reformulation of the initial user's query can be a good alternative to improve the information selectivity. ...

Interactive Search Support for Difficult Web Queries
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Extending previous solutions that automatically shorten queries, we introduce searchAssist: a novel search interface that provides interactive support for difficult web queries. ...
The results also highlight the importance of term dropping for long queries, and the improvements obtained in topical relevance when our searchers used searchAssist. ...
Over the 10 days, our 90 unique users formulated 848 queries of which 559 where manually formulated via the search box, and 289 queries were generated via searchAssist's query reformulation features. ...

Analyzing Temporal Query for Improving Web Search
2012
Journal of Emerging Technologies in Web Intelligence
Processing based on statistics is no longer enough to handle (i.e. to search, translate, summarize...) relevant information from texts. ...
The problem is how to extract knowledge taking into account document contents as well as the context of the query. ...
In the case of an automatic reformulation, the system will build the new query. However, the method of automatic reformulation, generally, does not take into account the context of the query. ...

Characterizing and Predicting Voice Query Reformulation
2015
Proceedings of the 24th ACM International on Conference on Information and Knowledge Management - CIKM '15
Voice interactions are becoming more prevalent as the usage of voice search and intelligent assistants gains more popularity. ...
Many of the characteristics studied in the context of text query reformulation are potentially useful for voice query reformulation. ...
When searchers experience difficulty in finding information, their struggle may be evident in their search behavior via different indicators such as query reformulation. ...

Assisting code search with automatic Query Reformulation for bug localization
2013
2013 10th Working Conference on Mining Software Repositories (MSR)
This paper demonstrates how the difficulty of designing a proper query can be alleviated through automatic Query Reformulation (QR)an under-the-hood operation for reformulating a user's query with no additional ...
The proposed QR framework works by enriching a user's search query with certain specific additional terms drawn from the highest-ranked artifacts retrieved in response to the initial query. ...
However, the improvements obtained via ROCC are not significant on the Chrome project. ...
