▼ Queries submitted to search engines rarely provide a complete and precise description of a user's information need. Most queries are ambiguous to some extent, having multiple interpretations. For example, the seemingly unambiguous query ``tennis lessons'' might be submitted by a user interested in attending classes in her neighborhood, seeking lessons for her child, looking for online videos lessons, or planning to start a business teaching tennis. Search engines face the challenging task of satisfying different groups of users having diverse information needs associated with a given query. One solution is to optimize ranking functions to satisfy diverse sets of information needs. Unfortunately, existing evaluation frameworks do not support such optimization. Instead, ranking functions are rewarded for satisfying the most likely intent associated with a given query. In this thesis, we propose a framework and associated evaluation metrics that are capable of optimizing ranking functions to satisfy diverse information needs. Our proposed measures explicitly reward those ranking functions capable of presenting the user with information that is novel with respect to previously viewed documents. Our measures reflects quality of a ranking function by taking into account its ability to satisfy diverse users submitting a query. Moreover, the task of identifying and establishing test frameworks to compare ranking functions on a web-scale can be tedious. One reason for this problem is the dynamic nature of the web, where documents are constantly added and updated, making it necessary for search engine developers to seek additional human assessments. Along with issues of novelty and diversity, we explore one approximate approach to compare different ranking functions by overcoming the problem of lacking complete human assessments. We demonstrate that our approach is capable of accurately sorting ranking functions based on their capability of satisfying diverse users, even in the face of incomplete human assessments.

▼ The purpose of sentiment analysis is to determine the attitude of a writer or a speaker with respect to some topic or his feeling in a document. Thanks to the rise of social media, nowadays there are numerous data generated by users. Mining and categorizing these data will not only bring profits for companies, but also benefit the nation. Sentiment analysis not only enables business decision makers to better understand customers' behaviors, but also allows customers to know how the public feel about a product before purchasing. On the other hand, the aggregation of emotions will effectively measure the public response toward an event or news. For example, the level of distress and sadness will increase significantly after terror attacks or natural disaster. In our project, we are going to build a search engine that allows users to check the sentiment of his query. Some of previous researches on classifying sentiment of messages on micro-blogging services like Twitter have tried to solve this problem but they have ignored neutral tweets, which will result in problematic results (12). Our sentiment analysis will also be based on tweets collected from twitter, since twitter can offer sufficient and real-time corpora for analysis. We will preprocess each tweet in the training set and label it as positive, negative or neutral. As we use words in the tweet as the feature for our model, different features will be used. We will show that accuracy achieved by different machine learning algorithms (Naïve Bayes, Maximum Entropy) can be improved with a feature vector obtained by using bigrams (5). In our practice, we find that Naive Bayes has better performance than Maximum Entropy.

▼ Users of current web search engines are often presented with a large number of returns after submitting a search term and choosing from the list might lead to them suffering from the effect of “choice overload”, as reported in earlier work. However, these search results are typically presented in an ordered list so as to simplify the search process, which may influence search behaviour and moderate the effect of number of choices. In this thesis, the effects of the number of search returns and their ordering on user behaviour and satisfaction are explored. A mixed methods approach combining multiple data collection and analysis techniques is employed in order to investigate these effects in terms of three specific issues, namely, choice overload in search engine use, variety seeking behaviour in a situation where multiple aspects of search results are required, and the chance of encountering serendipity. The participants were given search tasks and asked to choose from the sets of returns under experimental conditions. The results from the first three experiments revealed that large numbers of search results returned from a search engine tended to be associated with more satisfaction with the selected options when the decision was made without a time limit. In addition, when time was more strongly constrained the choices from a small number of returns led to relatively higher satisfaction than for a large number. Moreover, users’ behaviour was strongly influenced by the ordering of options in that they often looked and selected options presented near the top of the result lists when they perceived the ranking was reliable. The next experiment further investigated the ranking reliance behaviour when potentially useful search results were presented in supplementary lists. The findings showed that when users required a variety of options, they relied less on the ordering and tended to adapt their search strategies to seek variety by browsing more returns through the list, selecting options located further down, and/or choosing the supplementary web pages provided. Finally, with the aim of illustrating how chance encountering can be supported, a model of an automated synonym-enhanced search was developed and employed in a real-world literature search. The results showed that the synonym search was occasionally useful for providing a variety of search results, which in turn increased users’ opportunity to come across serendipitous experiences.

The World Wide Web is a global information medium of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via computers connected to the internet. Most of the users rely on traditional search engines to search the information on the web. These search engines deal with the Surface Web which is a set of Web pages directly accessible through hyperlinks and ignores a large part of the Web called Hidden Web which is hidden to present-day search engines. It lies behind search forms and this part of the web containing an almost endless amount of sources providing high quality information stored in specialized databases, can be found in the depths of the WWW. World Wide Web (WWW) is broadly divided into two categories: and#61472;The surface web contains 1% of information content of the web. Search engine crawl along the web to extract and index text from HTML documents on the websites, then make this information searchable through keywords. and#61472;The hidden web contains 99% of information content of the web. Most of this information is contained in the databases and is not indexed by search engines. This means if we are searching for information from surface web only, we search through only 1% of WWW and miss 99% of it whereas 95% of hidden web is free publicly accessible information. As the Hidden web information that is hidden behind the search query forms can only be accessed by interacting with these forms, development of automated system that interacts with the search forms and extracts the hidden web content would be of great value to human users. Today, the web is crowded with home-pages and sites that sell various types of products. Since the companies selling same type of products are not at all interested to publish the products of their competitors on their site, it would be nice if there is a free web service which collaborate the marketing of the products of the competitor web sites. Infact all the information is available on the internet but buried behind search interfaces and stored inside the databases.

▼ Keyword search is a prominent data retrieval method for the Web, largely because the simple and efficient nature of keyword processing allows a large amount of information to be searched with fast response. However, keyword search approaches do not formally capture the clear meaning of a keyword query and fail to address the semantic relationships between keywords. As a result, the accuracy (precision and recall rate) is often unsatisfactory, and the ranking algorithms fail to properly reflect the semantic relevance of keywords. Our research particularly focuses on increasing the accuracy of search results for multi-word search. We propose a statistical ontology-based semantic ranking algorithm based on sentence units, and a new type of query interface including wildcards. First, we allocate higher-ranking scores to keywords located in the same sentence compared with keywords located in separate sentences. While existing statistical search algorithms such as N-gram only consider sequences of adjacent keywords, our approach is able to calculate sequences of non-adjacent keywords as well as adjacent keywords. Second, we propose a slightly different type of query interface, which considers a wildcard as an independent unit of a search query to reflect what users are actually seeking by way of the function of query prediction based on not query data but actual Web data. Unlike current information retrieval approaches such as proximity, statistical language modeling, query prediction and query answering, our statistical ontology-based model synthesizes proximity concept and statistical approaches into a form of ontology. This ontology helps to improve web information retrieval accuracy. ❧ We validated our methodology with a suite of experiments using the Text Retrieval Conference document collection. We focused on two-word queries in our experiments - as two-word queries are quite common. After applying our statistical ontology-based algorithm to the Nutch search engine, we compared the results with results of the original Nutch search and Google Desktop Search. The result demonstrates that our methodology has improved accuracy quite significantly.

Le développement rapide du World Wide Web depuis les années 1990 a entraîné l'accroissement du nombre de sites web et l'intensification de la concurrence. Parallèlement, les moteurs de recherche ont joué un rôle majeur en facilitant la recherche d'informations sur le web, au point de devenir une source inépuisable de trafic dont les propriétaires de sites web souhaitent profiter. Afin de capter un maximum de trafic qualifié, il est devenu nécessaire de se démarquer pour améliorer la visibilité d'un site web sur les moteurs de recherche. Pour cela les propriétaires de sites web peuvent faire appel à des entreprises pratiquant le référencement web, et plus particulièrement le référencement naturel qui regroupe l'ensemble des techniques d'optimisation permettant d'indexer et de positionner les pages d'un site web au plus haut niveau dans les résultats de recherche. L'activité de référencement web est conduite par le référenceur qui, en optimisant un certain nombre de critères au sein du site web, améliore son positionnement. Mais les résultats obtenus sont incertains, car les algorithmes de classement des moteurs de recherche sont en perpétuelle mutation. Dès lors, il est devenu nécessaire pour le référenceur d'avoir une meilleure maîtrise du processus de référencement web et d'être aidé dans ses prises de décisions afin de satisfaire ses clients. Nos travaux de recherche ont permis d'apporter trois contributions :- Établissement d'un cadre efficace pour l'activité de référencement à partir de la définition des différentes étapes du processus de référencement web en s'inspirant d'un méta-modèle d'ingénierie ;- Modélisation du processus de référencement web à partir d'un modèle d'agents afin de permettre une meilleure compréhension de son fonctionnement et de contrôler efficacement les différentes interactions ;- Conception d'un système d'aide à la décision à partir de notre modèle d'agents servant de support à l'activité de référencement web. Ces trois contributions majeures nous ont permis de répondre à notre problématique de recherche qui se proposait de répondre à la question suivante : « Comment concevoir le processus de référencement web pour améliorer sa maîtrise par le couple référenceur / client ? ».

The World Wide Web has quickly grown since the 90s, and it has led to an increase in the number of websites and the intensification of the competition. In parallel, search engines have played a major role by facilitating the research of information on the web, to the point of being an infinite source of traffic of which websites' owners would like to take advantage. In order to capture the maximum of qualified traffic, it has become necessary to stand out from the competitors to improve the visibility of a website on search engines. To do that, websites' owners can resort to firms which practice Search Engine Optimization (SEO). The latter gathers all the optimization techniques which make it possible to improve the ranking of web pages at the highest rank in the search results. The activity of search engine…

▼ ABSTRACT Context: With growing number of online businesses, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) has become vital to capitalize a business because SEO is key factor for marketing an online business. SEO is the process to optimize a website so that it ranks well on Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs). Dynamic websites are commonly used for e-commerce because they are easier to update and expand; however they are subjected to indexing related problems. Objectives: This research aims to examine and address dynamic websites indexing related issues. To achieve aims and objectives of this research I intend to explore dynamic websites indexing considerations, investigate SEO tools to carry SEO campaign in three major search engines (Google, Yahoo and Bing), experiment SEO techniques, and determine to what extent dynamic websites can be made search engine friendly on these major search engines. Methods: In this research, detailed literature survey is performed to evaluate existing knowledge for SEO for dynamic websites. Further empirical experiments are conducted to address dynamic websites indexing problems; and to evaluate SEO techniques used in empirical experiments. Results: It is found that all major search engines, including Google, cannot fully index dynamic websites. I used some SEO techniques which I explored during this study to help dynamic webpage(s) get indexed in major search engines. The experiment results reflect the effectiveness of SEO techniques including URL encoding /friendly URLs on major search engines. Conclusions: I conclude that, dynamic websites are subjected to indexing related problems and require additional SEO efforts to appear in SERPs. Not all SEO techniques are equally effective on all search engines to improve indexing of dynamic webpage(s). Each implemented SEO technique has different impression on major search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask, and AOL). As, the encoded URLs technique is effective on all major search engines. However, Yahoo and Bing prefer friendly URLs over typical URLs with parameters. Therefore, presentation of dynamic URL could be quite paying if it is needed to index dynamic website on search engines other than Google.

▼ During the last decade, Internet search engines have become a popular and increasingly effective technology both in daily information seeking and in the business world. Nowadays, however, there exists very limited research work in this area. Existing studies have primarily relied upon methods and theories originated from prior research in traditional Information Retrieval Systems. This dissertation is the first in-depth study of Internet search engines with an expanded view of an Information Retrieval System and its applications. On the one hand, it proposes a new framework of relevance assessment. On the other hand, it addresses the online advertising aspect of Internet search engines. Neither expansion has been adequately addressed in existing research in the domain of Internet search engines. The dissertation is composed of three independent studies compiled into chapter 2 through chapter 4, respectively. As the content on Internet continues to grow and new indexing technologies become available, Internet search engines are facing an increasing challenge of ranking search results. The impact of the diversity of search results on the performance of search engines has not been systematically examined. The first study aims to address this research issue by proposing a new framework of relevance assessment base on Information Attributes. With an analytical model, the impacts of both diversity and information seeking method have been identified. The second study empirically tests the findings of the first study. In addition, the study uses search engine quality as the dependent variable. With controlled experiments and a factorial design, the study confirms some of the findings of the first study. Inconsistent findings and implication have been discussed. The third study aims to answer the research question of "What is the impact of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) on the online advertising market". This study builds an economic model that reveals the impact of SEO on the market price of paid placement and the sustainability condition of SEO firms. Together, the three studies explore and build theories in several untapped areas of Information Retrieval and the online advertising market. The practical and theoretical implications have been discussed in the concluding chapter.

▼ In this thesis, we aim at improving the search result quality by utilizing the search intelligence (history of searches) available in the form of click-through data. We address two key issues, namely 1) relevance feedback extraction and fusion, and 2) deciphering search query intentions. Relevance Feedback Extraction and Fusion: The existing search engines depend heavily on the web linkage structure in the form of hyperlinks to determine the relevance and importance of the documents. But these are collective judgments given by the page authors and hence, prone to collaborated spamming. To overcome the spamming attempts and language semantic issues, it is also important to incorporate the user feedback on the documents' relevance. Since users can be hardly motivated to give explicit/direct feedback on search quality, it becomes necessary to consider implicit feedback that can be collected from search engine logs. Though a number of implicit feedback measures have been proposed in the literature, we have not been able to identify studies that aggregate those feedbacks in a meaningful way to get a final ranking of documents. In this thesis, we first evaluate two implicit feedback measures namely 1) click sequence and 2) time spent on the document for their content uniqueness. We develop a mathematical programming model to collate the feedbacks collected from different sessions into a single ranking of documents. We use Kendall's τ rank correlation to determine the uniqueness of the information content present in the individual feedbacks. The experimental evaluation on top 30 select queries from an actual search log data confirms that these two measures are not in perfect agreement and hence, incremental information can potentially be derived from them. Next, we study the feedback fusion problem in which the user feedbacks from various sessions need to be combined meaningfully. Preference aggregation is a classical problem in economics and we study a variation of it where the rankers, i.e., the feedbacks, possess different expertise. We extend the generalized Mallows' model to model the feedback rankings given in user sessions. We propose a single stage and two stage aggregation framework to combine different feedbacks into one final ranking by taking their respective expertise into consideration. We show that the complexity of the parameter estimation problem is exponential in number of documents and queries. We develop two scalable heuristics namely, 1) a greedy algorithm, and 2) a weight based heuristic, that can closely approximate the solution. We also establish the goodness of fit of the model by testing it on actual log data through log-likelihood ratio test. As the independent evaluation of documents is not available, we conduct experiments on synthetic datasets devised appropriately to examine the various merits of the heuristics. The experimental results confirm the possibility of expertise oriented aggregation of feedbacks by producing orderings better than both the best ranker as well as equi-weight… Advisors/Committee Members: search?q=%2Bpublisher%3A%22Indian%20Institute%20of%20Science%22%20%2Bcontributor%3A%28%22Ramachandran%2C%20Parthasarathy%22%29&pagesize-30">Ramachandran, Parthasarathy (advisor).

▼ Searching for images can be challenging. How users search for images is governed by their information need. Nevertheless, in fulfilling their information need, users are often affected by subjective factors. These factors include topic familiarity, task difficulty, relevance criteria and satisfaction. This thesis focuses on three research questions exploring how image information needs together with these factors affect online web users' searching behaviour. The questions are: 1. How does image information need affect the criteria users apply when selecting relevant images? 2. How do different factors in image retrieval affect users' image searching behaviour? 3. Can we identify image information needs solely from user queries? In addressing these challenges, we conducted both user studies and proxy log analysis to complement each other. User studies are conducted in a laboratory setting and the needs are artificial, while proxy log captures users' actual needs and behaviour in the wild. The main user study involved 48 students of various disciplines from RMIT University. In the study, we represent image information needs as types of tasks. Data were collected from questionnaires and screen capture recordings. The questionnaire was used to collect data on criteria users find important when judging image relevance and perception on the effects of subjective factors to their searching. Screen capture recordings of their search activities were observed and time stamped to identify and measure search and retrieval behaviour. These measures were used to evaluate the effects of subjective factors on users' image search behaviour. The results showed in judging image relevance, users may apply similar criteria, however, the importance of these criteria depend on the types of image. Similarly, ratings of users' perception on aspects of performing image search show they were task dependent and that effect of different aspects were related. Users were more affected by familiarity and satisfaction when performing difficult image search tasks. Results of correlation suggest that users' perception of aspects of performing image search did not always correspond with their actual search behaviour. However, for some subjective aspects of user search behaviour, we have identified particular objective measures that correlate well with that aspect. The examination of users' queries in proxy logs, shows that users search for unambiguous images more frequently compared to conceptual images. Their sessions are short with two to three terms per query. When analysing queries from logs, we are actually making a guess of what users were searching for. However, by examining the way users modify/reformulate their queries may give an indication of their information need. Results show, that users frequently submit new queries or replace terms from their previous query rather than revising the query into more depth or breadth. Similar findings were found when compared with the user study data, whereby users in…
