Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for refining an initial search request to a content provider. The computer-implemented method includes receiving the initial search request from a user, submitting the initial search request to the content provider, receiving from the content provider a set of sample documents and source identifiers for respective ones of the sample documents, applying a topic model to the set of the sample documents to obtain a topic representation, presenting the topic representation to the user, receiving from the user topic relevance scores for respective ones of the topics, and classifying the data sources according to the topic relevance scores to obtain source relevance scores for respective ones of the data sources. The computer-implemented method further includes, based on the source relevance scores, determining a refined search request having an increased selectivity on documents covering a highest-scoring one of the topics.
