- Abstract
- Relevance feedback was one of the first interactive information retrieval techniques to help systems learn more about users' interests. Relevance feedback has been used in a variety of IR applications including query expansion, term disambiguation, user profiling, filtering and personalization. Initial relevance feedback techniques were explicit, in that they required the user's active participation. Many of today's relevance feedback techniques are implicit and based on users' information seeking behaviors, such as the pages they choose to visit, the frequency with which they visit pages, and the length of time pages are displayed. Although this type of information is available in great abundance, it is difficult to interpret without understanding more about the user's search goals and context. In this talk, I will address the following questions: what techniques are available to help us learn about users' interests and preferences? What types of evidence are available through a user's interactions with the system and with the information provided by the system? What do we need to know to accurately interpret and use this evidence? I will address the first two questions by presenting an overview of relevance feedback research in information retrieval. I will address the third question by presenting results of some of my own research that examined the online information seeking behaviors of users during a 14-week period and the context in which these behaviors took place.
