This book constitutes the proceedings of the 36th European
Conference on IR Research, ECIR 2014, held in Amsterdam, The
Netherlands, in April 2014.
The 33 full papers, 50 poster papers and 15 demonstrations
presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from
288 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical
sections: evaluation, recommendation, optimization, semantics,
aggregation, queries, mining social media, digital libraries,
efficiency, and information retrieval theory. Also included are 3
tutorial and 4 workshop presentations.
Online evaluation is one of the most common approaches to measure
the effectiveness of an information retrieval system. It involves
fielding the information retrieval system to real users, and
observing these users' interactions in situ while they engage with
the system. This allows actual users with real world information
needs to play an important part in assessing retrieval quality.
Online Evaluation for Information Retrieval provides the reader
with a comprehensive overview of the topic. It shows how online
evaluation is used for controlled experiments, segmenting them into
experiment designs that allow absolute or relative quality
assessments. The presentation of different metrics further
partitions online evaluation based on different sized experimental
units commonly of interest: documents, lists, and sessions. It also
includes an extensive discussion of recent work on data re-use, and
experiment estimation based on historical data. This book pays
particular attention to practical issues: How to run evaluations in
practice, how to select experimental parameters, how to take into
account ethical considerations inherent in online evaluations, and
limitations that experimenters should be aware of. While most
published work on online experimentation today is on a large scale
in systems with millions of users, this monograph also emphasizes
that the same techniques can be applied on a small scale. To this
end, it highlights recent work that makes it easier to use at
smaller scales and encourages studying real-world information
seeking in a wide range of scenarios. The monograph concludes with
a summary of the most recent work in the area, and outlines some
open problems, as well as postulating future directions.
