UCAIR: Capturing and Exploiting Context for Personalized Search

Abstract

Personalized search has much to do with capturing and exploiting user-related context information to improve search accuracy. Existing retrieval systems can not support personalized search well for ignoring a user's search context. In this paper, we describe our ongoing work on the User-Centered Adaptive Information Retrieval (UCAIR) project, which aims at capturing and exploiting naturally available user context for personalized search.
