Context-Driven Interactive Query Simulations Based on Generative Large Language Models
The proposed query generation methods build upon recent Large Language Model (LLM) approaches and consider the user's context throughout the simulation of a search session.
Validating Synthetic Usage Data in Living Lab Environments
Our setup is entirely open, and we share the code to reproduce the experiments.
Report from Dagstuhl Seminar 23031: Frontiers of Information Access Experimentation for Research and Education
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 23031 ``Frontiers of Information Access Experimentation for Research and Education'', which brought together 37 participants from 12 countries.
UNDR: User-Needs-Driven Ranking of Products in E-Commerce
As a user-centered approach that does not rely on post-purchase ratings or reviews, our method bypasses the cold-start problem while still reflecting the needs of an average customer.
Dataset of Natural Language Queries for E-Commerce
Shopping online is more and more frequent in our everyday life.
Starting Conversations with Search Engines -- Interfaces that Elicit Natural Language Queries
Search systems on the Web rely on user input to generate relevant results.
Response to Moffat's Comment on "Towards Meaningful Statements in IR Evaluation: Mapping Evaluation Measures to Interval Scales"
Moffat's comments build on: (i) misconceptions about the representational theory of measurement, such as what an interval scale actually is and what axioms it has to comply with; (ii) they totally miss the central concept of meaningfulness.
Validating Simulations of User Query Variants
System-oriented IR evaluations are limited to rather abstract understandings of real user behavior.
Towards Meaningful Statements in IR Evaluation. Mapping Evaluation Measures to Interval Scales
Recently, it was shown that most popular IR measures are not interval-scaled, implying that decades of experimental IR research used potentially improper methods, which may have produced questionable results.
How to Measure the Reproducibility of System-oriented IR Experiments
Replicability and reproducibility of experimental results are primary concerns in all the areas of science and IR is not an exception.
Can Rumour Stance Alone Predict Veracity?
Prior manual studies of rumours suggested that crowd stance can give insights into the actual rumour veracity.
