SmartSearch: Situation-Aware Web Search on Mobile Devices

To provide consumers with the right information at the time of need, we developed a SmartSearch application that is able to extract a user's situational interests from usage data. It automatically constructs search queries based on situational interests. We extract the situational interests automatically without prior training and user involvement. In addition, SmartSearch is a client-side solution running completely on a mobile device to protect user's privacy.
