Enhancing collaborative web search with personalization: groupization, smart splitting, and group hit-highlighting

Published:08 November 2008Publication History

ABSTRACT

Collaboration on Web search is common in many domains, such as education and knowledge work; recently, HCI researchers have begun to introduce prototype collaborative search tools to support such scenarios. We analyze data from a collaborative search experiment, and based on these data we propose three techniques that can enhance the value of collaborative search tools using personalization: groupization, smart splitting, and group hit-highlighting.
