In\nthis paper, we analyze TREC session query logs and compare the performance of\ndifferent lexical matching approaches for session search. Naive methods based\non term frequency weighing perform on par with specialized session models. In\naddition, we investigate the viability of lexical query models in the setting\nof session search. We give important insights into the potential and\nlimitations of lexical query modeling for session search and propose future\ndirections for the field of session search.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1608.06656v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1608.06656v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"lexical-query-modeling-in-session-search","repo_url":"https://github.com/cvangysel/sesh","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"session-search","task_name":"Session Search"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
