Full Description

Web search engines have stored information about users in their logs since they started to operate. This information often serves many purposes.

Mining Query Logs reviews some of the most recent techniques dealing with query logs and how they can be used to enhance web search engine operations. It summarizes the basic results concerning query logs: analyses, techniques used to extract knowledge, most remarkable results, most useful applications, and open issues and possibilities that remain to be studied. It also reviews fundamental and state-of-the-art techniques. In each section, even if not directly specified, it reviews and analyzes the algorithms used, and not just their results.

Mining Query Logs is dedicated to those who want to know more about how search engines are so good at ""guessing"" the right answers to their queries, and also how they can do so quickly.
