Abstract
In this paper we describe our efforts for the TREC OpenSearch task. Our goal for this year is to evaluate the effectiveness of: (1) a ranking method using information crawled from an authoritative search engine; (2) search rank- ing based on clickthrough data taken from user feedback; and (3) a unified modeling method that combines knowledge from the web search engine and the users' clickthrough data. Fi- nally, we conduct extensive experiments to evaluate the pro- posed framework on the TREC 2016 OpenSearch data set, with promising results.
