Extracting valuable feedback information from user behavior logs is one of the major
concerns in Web search studies. Among the tremendous efforts that aim to improve search …

Evaluation metrics for search typically assume items are homoge-neous. However, in the
context of web search, this assumption does not hold. Modern search engine result pages …

Economics provides an intuitive and natural way to formally represent the costs and benefits
