The Workshop on Aggregated seeks to define the research problems for aggregated search results, and to build a community of researchers working in this emerging area. Aggregated s...
We analyse query length, and fit power-law and Poisson distributions to four different query sets. We provide a practical model for query length, based on the truncation of a Pois...
