Evaluating Advanced Search Interfaces using Established Information-Seeking Models (2007)
Wilson, Max L, Schraefel, M.c., White, Ryen W.
When users have poorly defined or complex goals search interfaces offering only keyword searching facilities provide inadequate support to help them reach their information-seeking objectives. The...

A Simulated Study of Implicit Feedback Models (2004)
Ryen W. White, Joemon M. Jose, C. J. Van Rijsbergen
In this paper we report on a study of implicit feedback models for unobtrusively tracking the information needs of searchers. Such models use relevance information gathered from searcher interaction...
An Approach for Implicitly Detecting Information Needs (2003)
Ryen W. White, Joemon M. Jose, Ian Ruthven
Searchers can have problems devising queries that accurately express their, often dynamic, information needs. In this paper we describe an adaptive approach that uses unobtrusive monitoring of...
Adapting to Evolving Needs: Evaluating a Behaviour-Based Search Interface (2003)
Ryen W. White, Joemon M. Jose, Ian Ruthven
In this paper we present an evaluation of a behaviour-based adaptive search interface that predicts the current state of a user's information need based on their interaction. We evaluate the...
Clustering the Information Space Using Top-Ranking (2003)
Anastasios Tombros, Joemon M. Jose, Ian Ruthven, Ryen W. White
By considering sentences selected by a query-biased sentence extraction model from the top-retrieved documents, we create a personalised information space which is characterised by the presence of...
A Granular Approach to Web Search Result Presentation (2003)
Ryen W. White, Joemon M. Jose, Ian Ruthven
In this paper we propose and evaluate interfaces for presenting the results of web searches. Sentences, taken from the top retrieved documents, are used as fine-grained representations of document...
Richard Osdin, Ladh Ounis, Ryen W. White
Introduction and Motivation Current search engines axe typified as having a lack of precision, coupled with an elongated ranked list style of result presentation. When combined, these factors make...
Ryen W. White, Lan Ruthven, Joemon M. Jose
In this paper we present an evaluation of techniques that are designed to encourage web searchers to interact more with the results of a web search. Two specific techniques are examined: the...
The Use of Implicit Evidence for Relevance Feedback in (2002)
Ryen W. White, Ian Ruthven, Joemon M. Jose
In this paper we report on the application of two contrasting types of relevance feedback for web retrieval. We compare two systems; one using explicit relevance feedback (where searchers explicitly...
