Active tag recommendation for interactive entity search: Interaction effectiveness and retrieval performance

作者:

Highlights:

• We introduce active tag recommendation; an approach using online reinforcement learning for recommending tags for the user to support the information search process.

• We show that active tag recommendation improves the ranking of search results.

• We show that active tag recommendation increases the amount of interaction and effectiveness of interactions to rank selected information.

• We show that active tag recommendation reduces, but does not substitute typed-query interaction.

• We show that active tag recommendation does not compromise task execution time.
