The acquisition of information is generally thought to be deliberately sought using a search or query mechanism or by browsing or scanning an information space. People, however, f...
We present a single-database computationally private information retrieval scheme with polylogarithmic communication complexity. Our construction is based on a new, but reasonable...
Researchers investigating personalization techniques for Web Information Retrieval face a challenge; that the data required to perform evaluations, namely query logs and clickthro...
Designing good user interfaces to information retrieval systems is a complex activity. The design space is large and evaluation methodologies that go beyond the classical precisio...
