Improving mobile search using content enrichment

作者:Karen Church, Barry Smyth

摘要

Providing an effective mobile search service is a difficult task given the unique characteristics of the mobile space. Small-screen devices with limited input and interaction capabilities do not make ideal search devices. In addition, mobile content, by its concise nature, offers limited indexing opportunities, which makes it difficult to build high-quality mobile search engines and indexes. In this paper we consider the issue of limited page content by evaluating a heuristic content enrichment framework that uses standard Web resources as a source of additional indexing knowledge. We present an evaluation using a mobile news service that demonstrates significant improvements in search performance compared to a benchmark mobile search engine.
