III-COR: QueryClinic: Improve Search Accuracy for Difficult Queries

IIS-0713581翟成祥伊利诺伊大学香槟分校III-COR：QueryClinic：提高疑难问题的搜索准确率本项目旨在开发一个交互式搜索环境(称为QueryClinic)，以更好地支持用户在大型信息空间中查找信息。其目标是使搜索过程成为一个协作过程，在这个过程中，QueryClinic软件和用户将相互互动，共同努力改善搜索结果。这与当前的搜索过程形成了鲜明对比，在当前的搜索过程中，搜索引擎用一些搜索结果被动地响应用户的查询。具体地说，QueryClinic将积极地让用户参与搜索过程，以便用户能够在搜索过程中提供更多的输入，并在重新制定查询时获得更多的指导和帮助。这样，系统将能够收集更多信息量的反馈信息，并将整个互动会话作为一个整体进行分析(而不仅仅是查询中的几个单词)，以更准确地了解用户的信息需求，这反过来又有助于系统更好地指导搜索过程，提高搜索精度。

IIS - 0713581Zhai, ChengXiangUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignIII-COR: QueryClinic: Improve Search Accuracy for Difficult QueriesThis project aims to develop an interactive search environment (called QueryClinic) to better support a user infinding information in large information spaces. The goal is to make the search process a collaborative process in which QueryClinic software and a user would interact with each other and work together toward improvingsearch results. This is in contrast with the current search process in which a search engine passively responds to auser's query with some search results. Specifically, QueryClinic would actively involve a user in the search process sothat the user can give more input to the search process and also receive more guidance and assistance in reformulating queries. In this way, the system would be able to collect more informative feedback information and analyze the entire interaction session as a whole (rather than just a few words in the query) to understand more precisely the user's information need, which in turn helps the system better direct the search process and improve search accuracy.
