In this paper, we explore the use of entities that can be extracted from a query log to enhance query recommendation. In particular, we extend a state-of-the-art recommendation algorithm to take into account the semantic information associated with submitted queries. Our novel method generates highly related and diversified suggestions that we as- sess 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 experiments. date: 2013 date_type: published event_title: IIR 2013 Italian Information Retrieval Workshop event_type: workshop refereed: TRUE citation: Ceccarelli, Diego and Gordea, Sergiu and Lucchese, Claudio and Nardini, Franco Maria and Perego, Raffaele On Suggesting Entities as Web Search Queries.
