Communities, Collaboration, and Recommender Systems in Personalized Web Search

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Recommender Systems Handbook

Abstract

Web search engines are the primary means by which millions of users access information everyday and the sheer scale and success of the leading search engines is a testimony to the scientific and engineering progress that has been made over the last ten years. However, mainstream search engines continue to deliver largely one-size-fits-all services to their user-base, ultimately limiting the relevance of their result-lists. In this chapter we will explore recent research that is seeking to make Web search a more personal and collaborative experience as we look towards a new breed of more social search engines.
