This process can often be time-consuming as search and interaction histories become verbose. In this work, we present and analyze the usefulness of concise human-readable user profiles in order to enhance system tuning and evaluation by means of user studies.}, publisher = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/designing-human-readable-user-profiles-for-search-evaluation/}, edition = {Short-paper in Proceedings of the 35th ACM European Conference on Information Retrieval (ECIR '13)}, }
