In this paper, we present an in-depth analysis of Web search queries for controversial topics, focusing on query sentiment. To this end, we conduct extensive user assessments as well as an automatic sentiment analysis using the SentiWordNet thesaurus.

Topic-centric querying of web information resources
Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Ulusoy, O; Ozsoyoglu, G; Ozsoyoglu, ZM (2001-01-01)
This paper deals with the problem of modeling web information resources using expert knowledge and personalized user information, and querying them in terms of topics and topic relationships. We propose a model for web information resources, and a query language SQL-TC (Topic-Centric SQL) to query the model. The model is composed of web-based information resources (XML or HTML documents on the web), expert advice repositories (domain-expert-specified metadata for information resources), and personalized inf...
Identifying the effectiveness of a web search engine with Turkish domain dependent impacts and global scale information retrieval improvements
Fidan, Güven; Demirörs, Onur; Yöndem, Meltem Turhan; Department of Information Systems (2012)
This study investigates the effectiveness of a Web search engine with newly added or improved features in Web search engine architecture. These features can be categorized into three groups: The impact of link quality and usage information on page importance calculation; the use of Turkish stemmer for indexing and query substitution; and, the use of thumbnails for Web search engine result visualization. As Web search engines have become the primary means for finding and accessing information on the Internet...
Exploiting Cluster-Skipping Inverted Index Structure for Semantic Place Retrieval
Çınar, Enes Recep; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Department of Computer Engineering (2022-11-30)
Semantic place retrieval is a popular research problem that aims to search over knowledge graphs using both text and location information. While handling such queries, it is crucial to appropriately balance the relevance and spatial distance of places to the user's query, to satisfy the user's information needs. Furthermore, given modern users' expectations, it is also critical to return results in a short time, which implies the necessity of using advanced index structures in the underlying retrieval syste...
Improving document ranking with query expansion based on bert word embeddings
Yeke, Doğuhan; Kesim Çiçekli, Nihan.; Department of Computer Engineering (2020)
In this thesis, we present a query expansion approach based on contextualized word embeddings for improving document ranking performance. We employ Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers(BERT) word embeddings to expand the original query with semantically similar terms. After deciding the best method for extracting word embeddings from BERT, we extend our query with the best candidate terms. As our primary goal, we show how BERT performs over the Word2Vec model, known as the most common pro...
Analyzing Implicit Aspects and Aspect Dependent Sentiment Polarity for Aspect-based Sentiment Analysis on Informal Turkish Texts
Kama, Batuhan; ÖZTÜRK, MURAT; Karagöz, Pınar; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Kalender, Murat (2017-11-09)
The web provides a suitable media for users to post comments on different topics. In most of such content, authors express different opinions on different features or aspects of the topic. In aspect based sentiment analysis, it is analyzed as to for which aspect which opinion is expressed. Once aspects are available, the next important step is to match aspects with correct sentiments. In this work, we investigate enhancements for two cases in matching step: extracting implicit aspects, and sentiment words w...
