Experiments on Query Expansion for Internet Yellow Page Services Using Web Log Mining

Summary: Data-driven query expansion for an Internet Yellow Pages service (iTOWNPAGE) via access-log mining, using enhanced K-means to model user search intent. Two-step expansion: (1) recommend similar categories to the query, (2) propose related categories beyond the existing hierarchy; evaluation shows prototype-level effectiveness.
