Abstract

The web is increasingly being accessed from mobile devices, and studies suggest that a large fraction of keyword-based search engine queries have local intent, meaning that users are interested in local content and that the underlying ranking function should take into account both relevance to the query keywords and the query location. A key challenge in being able to make progress on the design of ranking functions is to be able to assess the quality of the results returned by ranking functions.
We propose a model that synthesizes a ranking of points of interest from answers to crowdsourced pairwise relevance questions. To evaluate the model, we propose an innovative methodology that enables evaluation of the quality of synthesized rankings in a simulated setting. We report on an experimental evaluation based on the methodology that shows that the proposed model produces promising results in pertinent settings and that it is capable of outperforming an approach based on majority voting.
