WSCD 2013 - Workshop on Web Search Click Data

WSCD2013 is the third workshop on Web Search Click Data, following WSCD2009 and WSCD2012. It is a forum for new research relating to Web search usage logs and for discussing desirable properties of publicly released search log datasets. For a summary of datasets used and discussed at the workshop, see the datasets summary page.
Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:
web mining
information retrieval
learning to rank
desiderata for future click data releases
mining semantic relationships, for example within and between the query set and document set
analysis and correction of biases in the data
clustering/grouping log data by: topic, task, geographic location, time.
generative models for the log events, query text and/or document text
other tasks which can be improved with the click data
Research relating to search logs has been hampered by the limited availability of click datasets. This workshop comes with a new click dataset based on click logs and an accompanying challenge to predict the relevance of documents based on clicks.
For participants in the workshop, participating in the challenge is optional, and authors are invited to submit papers using this or other datasets.
Workshop Program
The workshop program will include one or two invited talks, regular paper talks, the challenge overview talk, talks by challenge winners and talks proposed by top participants.
