Incorporating Clicks, Attention and Satisfaction into a Search Engine Result Page Evaluation Model

1 code implementation • 2 Sep 2016 • Aleksandr Chuklin, Maarten de Rijke

In this paper we propose a model of user behavior on a SERP that jointly captures click behavior, user attention and satisfaction, the CAS model, and demonstrate that it gives more accurate predictions of user actions and self-reported satisfaction than existing models based on clicks alone.
