Mobile personalized web search has been introduced for the purpose of distinguishing mobile user's personal different search interest. We first take the user's location information into account to do a geographic query expansion, then present an approach to personalizing web search for mobile users within language modeling framework. We estimate a user mixed model estimated according to both activated ontological topic model-based feedback and user interest model to re-rank the results from geographic query expansion. Experiments show that language model based re-ranking method is effective in presenting more relevant documents on the top retrieved results to mobile users. The main contribution of the improvements comes from the consideration of geographic information, ontological topic information and user interests together to find more relevant documents for satisfying their personal information need.

User intent analysis is a continuous research hotspot in the field of query expansion. However, the big amount of irrelevant feedbacks in search log has negatively impacted the precision of user intent model. By observing the log, it can be found that tentative click is a major source of irrelevant feedback. It is also observed that a kind of new feedback information can be extracted from the log to recognize the characteristics of tentative clicks. With this new feedback information, this paper proposes an advanced user intent model and applies it into query expansion. Experiment results show that the model can effectively decrease the negative impact of irrelevant feedbacks that belong to tentative clicks and increase the precision of query expansion, especially for those informational queries.
