Implicit search feature based approach to assist users in exploratory search tasks

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a framework for evaluating exploratory search using implicit features.

• User search action sequences are also used to find behavior patterns.

• Show effectiveness with above 70% prediction accuracy for user search performance.

• Provide search process based recommendation to assist underperforming users.

• Demonstrate recommendation effectiveness both qualitatively and quantitatively.
