Proposing a Web Query Expansion Using Twitter for Job-seeking Students

Abstract

In this study, we propose a query expansion method for Web searches using Twitter for job-seeking students. In recent years, information gathering has become increasingly important for job-seeking students. However, there is a problem that current Web search makes it difficult to find necessary information and leads to biased information search. In this paper, we evaluated the search method using Google Suggest and the proposed method through experiments. Consequently, it was confirmed that the search by query expansion using tweets provides up-to-date information, which is different from the search by Google Suggest.
