Abstract

In this poster, we present a method for extracting queries related to real-life events, or news-related queries, from large web query logs. The method employs query frequencies and search over a collection of recent news. News-related queries can be helpful for disambiguating user information needs, as well as for effective online news processing. The performed evaluation proves that the method yields good precision.
