On the community-based explanation of search results

Maurice Coyle, Barry Smyth · 2007

Collaborative Web search (CWS) is an approach to personalizing search results, returned by an underlying search engine(s), to the preferences of a community of like-minded searchers. In this paper we propose an alternative architecture that facilitates a more flexible integration between CWS and the underlying search engine(s) and evaluate how community behaviour can be used to annotate search results with explanatory information to facilitate relevancy judgments.
