DESCRIPTION:Modern search engines have been moving away from very simplist
 ic interfaces that aimed at satisfying a user's need with a single-shot qu
 ery. Interactive features such as query suggestions and faceted search are
  now integral parts of Web search engines. Generating good query modificat
 ion suggestions to assist a searcher remains however a challenging issue. 
 Query log analysis is one of the major strands of work in this direction. 
 While much research has been performed on query logs collected on the Web 
 as a whole\, query log analysis to enhance search on smaller and more focu
 sed collections (such as intranets\, digital libraries and local Web sites
 ) has attracted less attention. In addition to that\, there is plenty of s
 cope to also support a user in navigating (rather than searching) a collec
 tion using very similar approaches.\n\nThe talk will look at a number of d
 irections we have explored at the University of Essex in addressing this p
 roblem by automatically acquiring continuously updated domain models using
  query and click logs (as well as other sources).
