Acm Sigir 2006 Workshop on "evaluating Exploratory Search Systems" Eess 2006 Preface from the Workshop Co-chairs Evaluating Exploratory Search Systems Building Models of Search Success with Experience Sampling and Event Logs

چکیده
Exploratory search tasks stack additional challenges on the already difficult task of evaluating searching effectiveness. The experience sampling method has been used at MSN Search to assess the relationship between individual result and overall session satisfaction. Combining experience sampling with robust modeling of implicit variables has been shown to yield a productive model for general search. Methods for extending this approach to new systems designed to support exploratory search are proposed.

متن کاملEvaluating Exploratory Search Systems
Online search has become an increasingly important part of the everyday lives of most computer users. Generally, popular search tools support users well, however, in situations where the search problem is poorly defined, or the information seeker is unfamiliar with the problem domain, or the search task requires some exploration or the consideration of multiple perspectives, such tools may not ...
