In this paper, we explore the use of entities that can be extracted from a query log to enhance query recommendation. In particular, we use a large query log recorded by the Europeana portal, a central access point to the descriptions of more than 20 million cultural heritage objects, and we extend a state-of-the-art query recommendation algorithm to take into account the semantic information associated with the submitted queries. Our novel method generates highly related and diversified suggestions. We assess it by means of a new evaluation technique. The manually annotated dataset used for performance comparisons has been made available to the research community to favor the repeatability of the experiments. date: 2013 publisher: ACM pagerange: 933-938 event_title: SAC ’13: 28th Symposium On Applied Computing event_location: Coimbra, Portugal event_dates: March 18 - 22, 2013 event_type: conference id_number: 10.1145/2480362.2480540 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4503-1656-9 book_title: Proceedings of the 28th Annual ACM symposium on applied computing official_url: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=2480362.2480540 citation: Ceccarelli, Diego and Gordea, Sergiu and Lucchese, Claudio and Nardini, Franco Maria and Perego, Raffaele When entities meet query recommender systems: semantic search shortcuts.
