Abstract
Database queries are often exploratory and users often find their queries return too many answers, many of them irrelevant. Existing approaches include categorization, ranking, and query refinement. The success of all these approaches depends on the utilization of user preferences. However, most existing work assumes that all users have the same user preferences, but in real life different users often have different preferences. In this paper, we propose a framework that addresses diverse user preferences in query results navigation.
