Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Introduction Web queries tend to be significantly shorter and less complex than queries used in earlier types of information systems (Jansen & Pooch, 2000; Lawrence & Giles, 1999; Spink et al, 2001). Yet, there is general belief that enriched queries and query reformulation will lead to improved results (Belkin et al, 2001). In our research we are examining the sorts of tools that could assist with the creation of enriched queries and in turn improve the search process and the user's search experience. In the work reported here we assessed the use of two types of tools: one to assist the user in targeting and, thus, restricting the query, and a second one to assist in augmenting the query. We speculated that certain types of tools are more useful for certain types of information tasks. In particular we targeted the standard informational request in which a suitable response could be culled from many different Web pages, and secondly, the 'know-item' task, in which a specific Website

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
