Abstract

When an ambiguous query is received, a sensible approach is for the information retrieval (IR) system to diversify the results retrieved for this query, in the hope that at least one of the interpretations of the query intent will satisfy the user. Diversity is an increasingly important topic, of interest to both academic researchers (such as participants in the TREC Web and Blog track diversity tasks, or the NTCIR INTENT task), as well as to search engines professionals. In the 2nd edition of the Diversity in Document Retrieval workshop (DDR 2012), we solicited submissions both on approaches and models for diversity, the evaluation of diverse search results, and on applications of diverse search results. This workshop builds upon a successful 1st edition of DDR which was held at ECIR 2011 in Dublin, Ireland.
