LISP -- A Rich Interaction Dataset and Loggable Interactive Search Platform
By: Jana Isabelle Friese , Andreas Konstantin Kruff , Philipp Schaer and more
We present a reusable dataset and accompanying infrastructure for studying human search behavior in Interactive Information Retrieval (IIR). The dataset combines detailed interaction logs from 61 participants (122 sessions) with user characteristics, including perceptual speed, topic-specific interest, search expertise, and demographic information. To facilitate reproducibility and reuse, we provide a fully documented study setup, a web-based perceptual speed test, and a framework for conducting similar user studies. Our work allows researchers to investigate individual and contextual factors affecting search behavior, and to develop or validate user simulators that account for such variability. We illustrate the datasets potential through an illustrative analysis and release all resources as open-access, supporting reproducible research and resource sharing in the IIR community.
