We provide a first large-scale analysis of the evolution of query results obtained from a real search engine at two distant points in time, namely, in 2007 and 2010, for a set of 630,000 real queries.

Characterizing web search queries that match very few or no results Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Cambazoglu, Berkant Barla; Ozcan, Rifat; Sarigil, Erdem; Ulusoy, Özgür (2012-12-19) Despite the continuous efforts to improve the web search quality, a non-negligible fraction of user queries end up with very few or even no matching results in leading web search engines. In this work, we provide a detailed characterization of such queries based on an analysis of a real-life query log. Our experimental setup allows us to characterize the queries with few/no results and compare the mechanisms employed by the major search engines in handling them.
Propagating Expiration Decisions in a Search Engine Result Cache Sazoglu, Fethi Burak; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Ozcan, Rifat; Barla Cambazoglu, B.; ULUSOY, ÖZGÜR (2015-05-22) Detecting stale queries in a search engine result cache is an important problem. In this work, we propose a mechanism that propagates the expiration decision for a query to similar queries in the cache to re-adjust their time-to-live values.
Static query result caching revisited Ozcan, Rifat; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; Ulusoy, Özgür (2008-12-15) Query result caching is an important mechanism for search engine efficiency. In this study, we first review several query features that are used to determine the contents of a static result cache. Next, we introduce a new feature that more accurately represents the popularity of a query by measuring the stability of query frequency over a set of time intervals. Experimental results show that this new feature achieves hit ratios better than those of the previously proposed features.
Diversity and Novelty on the Web: Search, Recommendation, and Data Streaming Aspects Santos, Rodrygo L. T.; Castells, Pablo; Altıngövde, İsmail Sengör; CAN, FAZLI (2015-05-22) This tutorial aims to provide a unifying account of current research on diversity and novelty in different web information systems. In particular, the tutorial will cover the motivations, as well as the most established approaches for producing and evaluating diverse results in search engines, recommender systems, and data streams, all within the context of the World Wide Web. By contrasting the state-of-the-art in these multiple domains, this tutorial aims to derive a common understanding of the diversific...
Extending singular value decomposition based recommendation systems with tags and ontology Turgut, Yakup; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2014) Due to increase of the volume of data related to user ratings on items, in recent years, recommendation systems became very popular, which uses this data in order to rec- ommend items to users in many different domains. Singular Value Decomposition is one of the most widely studied collaborative ﬁltering recommendation techniques. In some applications users are also allowed to enter (sometimes free) tags in addition to their ratings on items. Adding tags in addition to regular users’ ratings on items have a...
