This paper presents first successful steps in designing search agents that learn meta-strategies for iterative query refinement in information-seeking tasks. Our approach uses machine reading to guide the selection of refinement terms from…
With the rise of social networks, information on the internet is no longer solely organized by web pages. Rather, content is generated and shared among users and organized around their social relations on social networks. This presents new…
Beam search with masked language models (MLMs) is challenging in part because joint probability distributions over sequences are not readily available, unlike for autoregressive models. However, estimating such distributions has important…
In the past, most search queries issued to a search engine were short and simple. A keyword based search engine was able to answer such queries quite well. However, members are now developing the habit of issuing long and complex natural…
The Deep Web is constituted by data that are accessible through Web pages, but not readily indexable by search engines as they are returned in dynamic pages. In this paper we propose a conceptual framework for answering keyword queries on…
Typically, search engines provide query suggestions to assist users in the search process. Query suggestions are very important for improving users search experience. However, most query suggestions are based on the user's search logs, and…
Click-through data has proven to be a valuable resource for improving search-ranking quality. Search engines can easily collect click data, but biases introduced in the data can make it difficult to use the data effectively. In order to…
Internet search engines function in a present which changes continuously. The search engines update their indices regularly, overwriting Web pages with newer ones, adding new pages to the index, and losing older ones. Some search engines…
Template extraction is the process of isolating the template of a given webpage. It is widely used in several disciplines, including webpages development, content extraction, block detection, and webpages indexing. One of the main goals of…
Missing web pages, URIs that return the 404 "Page Not Found" error or the HTTP response code 200 but dereference unexpected content, are ubiquitous in today's browsing experience. We use Internet search engines to relocate such missing…
The enormous development of the Internet, both in the geographical scale and in the area of using its possibilities in everyday life, determines the creation and collection of huge amounts of data. Due to the scale, it is not possible to…
Web search engines are frequently used to access information about products. This has increased in recent times with the rising popularity of e-commerce. However, there is limited understanding of what users search for and their intents…
A publicly available dataset for federated search reflecting a real web environment has long been absent, making it difficult for researchers to test the validity of their federated search algorithms for the web setting. We present several…
Search is an integral part of a software development process. Developers often use search engines to look for information during development, including reusable code snippets, API understanding, and reference examples. Developers tend to…
The problem that the same information need can be expressed in a variety of ways is especially true for scientific literature. Each scientific discipline has its own domain-specific language and vocabulary. This language is coded into…
Search engines are the most commonly used type of tool for finding relevant information on the Internet. However, today's search engines are far from perfect. Typical search queries are short, often one or two words, and can be ambiguous…
Indexing the Web is becoming a laborious task for search engines as the Web exponentially grows in size and distribution. Presently, the most effective known approach to overcome this problem is the use of focused crawlers. A focused…
This study examines textual, user-written search queries within the context of sound search engines, encompassing various applications such as foley, sound effects, and general audio retrieval. Current research inadequately addresses…
The main information of a webpage is usually mixed between menus, advertisements, panels, and other not necessarily related information; and it is often difficult to automatically isolate this information. This is precisely the objective of…
Databases are widespread, yet extracting relevant data can be difficult. Without substantial domain knowledge, multivariate search queries often return sparse or uninformative results. This paper introduces an approach for searching…
