    • 6.2 Qualitative Analysis: Case Studies

    Often, a searcher (user) provides an under-specified query to the search system, which may reflect multiple information needs, or different facets of the same intent. A con-versational search refinement system attempts to pinpoint the user’s search intent via a series of clarification questions, which the Searcher can choose to answer cooperatively...

    Our core contribution, COSEARCHER, is the parameterized modeling of conversation search system users. The model is general, and is applicable to a broad set of con-versational search tasks. It has two key components: (1) User Intent: a task-specific representation of the user’s goals; and (2) User Parameters: values representing levels of cooperati...
