Beyond States: Investigating the Effects of Context on User Modeling with Feature-Conditioned Markov Models
Jana Isabelle Friese, Andreas Konstantin Kruff, Timo Breuer +2
User behavior simulation is widely used to evaluate interactive information retrieval systems, but classical state-based approaches (e.g., Markov models) have limited ability to in…

Context-Driven Interactive Query Simulations Based on Generative Large Language Models
Björn Engelmann, Timo Breuer, Jana Isabelle Friese +2
Simulating user interactions enables a more user-oriented evaluation of information retrieval (IR) systems. While user simulations are cost-efficient and reproducible, many approac…
