Keywords
Computer Science
Communications of the ACMThe vocabulary problem in human-system communication
1,497 Citations1987George W. Furnas, Thomas K. Landauer +2 more
It is shown how this fundamental property of language limits the success of various design methodologies for vocabulary-driven interaction, and an optimal strategy, unlimited aliasing, is derived and shown to be capable of several-fold improvements.
NatureAccessibility of information on the web
1,356 Citations1999Steve Lawrence, C. Lee Giles
As the web becomes a major communications medium, the data on it must be made more accessible, and search engines need to make the data more accessible.
Journal of the American Society for Information Science and TechnologySearching the web: The public and their queries
938 Citations2001Amanda Spink, Dietmar Wolfram +2 more
It is found that most people use few search terms, few modified queries, view few Web pages, and rarely use advanced search features, and the language of Web queries is distinctive.
Personalizing search via automated analysis of interests and activities
797 Citations2005Jaime Teevan, Susan Dumais +1 more
This research suggests that rich representations of the user and the corpus are important for personalization, but that it is possible to approximate these representations and provide efficient client-side algorithms for personalizing search.
Lecture notes in computer scienceCase-Based Reasoning Research and Development
772 Citations2016Ashok K. Goel, Belén Díaz‐Agudo +1 more
A CBR solution to the route planning problem for groups of people is described and keyword coverage results for the CBR approach and heuristic search algorithms are compared.
Lecture notes in computer scienceAdvances in Case-Based Reasoning
649 Citations1996Ian F. C. Smith, Boi Faltings
This book is referred to read because it is an inspiring book to give you more chance to get experiences and also thoughts and this advances in case based reasoning.

Lecture notes in computer scienceAdaptive Hypermedia and Adaptive Web-Based Systems
574 Citations2008Shlomo Berkovsky, Francesca Carmagnola +3 more
It sounds good when knowing the adaptive hypermedia and adaptive web based systems in this website, this famous book will serve something that will let you get the best time and moment to spend for reading the book.
SearchTogether
421 Citations2007Meredith Ringel Morris, Eric Horvitz
This work introduces SearchTogether, a prototype that enables groups of remote users to synchronously or asynchronously collaborate when searching the Web, and discusses the ways SearchTogether facilitates collaboration by supporting awareness, division of labor, and persistence.
IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data EngineeringPersonalized web search for improving retrieval effectiveness
371 Citations2004Fang Liu, C. Yu +1 more
A novel technique to learn user profiles from users' search histories is proposed, which are then used to improve retrieval effectiveness in Web search.
A survey of collaborative web search practices
258 Citations2008Meredith Ringel Morris
A survey of knowledge workers at a large technology company has revealed that a large proportion of users engage in searches that include collaborative activities, and the implications for designing new Web search interfaces that provide tools for sharing are reviewed.
Context in Web Search.
247 Citations2000Steve Lawrence
Nextgeneration search engines will make increasing use of context information, either by using explicit or implicit context information from users, or by implementing additional functionality within restricted contexts.
CoSearch
229 Citations2008Saleema Amershi, Meredith Ringel Morris
It is shown that CoSearch enabled distributed control and division of labor, thus reducing the frustrations associated with shared-computer searches, while still preserving the positive aspects of communication and collaboration associated with joint computer use.
Orienteering in an information landscape
209 Citations1993Vicki L. O’Day, Robin Jeffries
The implications of the interconnected search pattern, triggers and stop conditions, common analysis techniques, and intermediary roles for the design of information access systems are discussed.
User Modeling and User-Adapted InteractionExploiting Query Repetition and Regularity in an Adaptive Community-Based Web Search Engine
192 Citations2004Barry Smyth, Evelyn Balfe +4 more
It is argued that I-SPY strikes a useful balance between search personalization and user privacy, by offering a unique form of anonymous personalization, and in doing so may very well provide privacy-conscious Web users with an acceptable approach to personalized search.
Lecture notes in computer sciencePersonalized Search on the World Wide Web
191 Citations2007Alessandro Micarelli, Fabio Gasparetti +2 more
Several important user personalization approaches and techniques developed for the Web search domain are illustrated in this chapter, along with examples of real systems currently being used on the Internet.
Algorithmic mediation for collaborative exploratory search
178 Citations2008Jeremy Pickens, Gene Golovchinsky +3 more
Algorithmic mediation improved both collaborative search (allowing a team of searchers to find relevant information more efficiently and effectively), and exploratory search (discovering relevant information that cannot be found while working individually).
ComputerA Community-Based Approach to Personalizing Web Search
116 Citations2007Barry Smyth
The collaborative Web search approach that promotes the idea that community search activities can provide valuable form of search knowledge and sharing of this knowledge makes adapting traditional search-engine results possible is discussed.
Community search assistant
110 Citations2001Natalie Glance
A new software agent, the community search assistant, which recommends related searches to users of search engines, and transforms single user usage of information networks into collaborative usage: all users can tap into the knowledge base of queries submitted by others.
Lecture notes in computer scienceS3: Storable, Shareable Search
45 Citations2007Meredith Ringel Morris, Eric Horvitz
S3 is presented, a system that implicitly captures the process and products of Web investigations (exploratory searches involving multiple queries) and automatically-created, persistent representation of an investigation enables future review and continuation of suspended search activities.
Lecture notes in computer scienceCase-Based Collaborative Web Search
35 Citations2004Evelyn Balfe, Barry Smyth
A novel case-based technique is described that is founded on the notion of reuse and that seeks to exploit past search histories to answer future search queries and can deliver significant performance benefits when compared to alternative strategies including meta-search.
ACM Transactions on Internet TechnologySupporting intelligent Web search
25 Citations2007Maurice Coyle, Barry Smyth
It is argued that a comprehensive search service needs to provide the user with more help, both at the result list level and beyond, and some recommendations for intelligent Web search support are outlined.
