User Assistance in Information Retrieval Sample Clauses

User Assistance in Information Retrieval. There has been a considerable amount of work on user assistance for general web search and improving user experience with feedback, suggestions, and hints. Results of the study in [225] demonstrate that in 59.5% of the cases users need help to refine their searches or to construct search statements. Individual term [159] or query suggestions [30, 47, 108] are among the most popular techniques for helping users to augment their queries. The study in Xxxxx Xxxxx et al. [111] demonstrated that users prefer query suggestions over term relevance feedback, and that good manually designed suggestions improve retrieval performance. Query suggestion methods usually use search logs to extract queries that are similar to the query of interest and work better for popular information needs [30]. Query suggestions can also have a learning effect. Xxxxxx et al. [86] demonstrated, that users can learn formu- late better queries by observing high-quality query suggestions. And search by itself is a learning experience [199]. When query or term suggestions are not available, it is still possible to help users by providing potentially useful search hints. An adaptive tool providing tactical suggestions was presented in [117], and users reported overall satis- faction with its automatic non-intrusive advice. Modern search engines have many features that are not typically used by an average user but can be very useful in particular situations as shown in [140]. The study demonstrated the potential effectiveness and teaching effect of hints. In my dissertation, rather than suggesting to use certain advanced search tools, I explore the effectiveness of strategic search hints, designed to suggest a strategy a user can adapt to solve a difficult information question.
