This paper presents a potential seed selection algorithm for web crawlers using a gain - share scoring approach. Initially we consider a set of arbitrarily chosen tourism queries. ...
We present a new approach for personalizing Web search results to a specific user. Ranking functions for Web search engines are typically trained by machine learning algorithms u...

In some retrieval situations, a system must search across multiple collections. This task, referred to as federated search, occurs for example when searching a distributed index o...
This paper investigates the role of online resources in problem solving. We look specifically at how programmers--an exemplar form of knowledge workers--opportunistically interlea...
