Abstract: Nowadays, web search engines are playing an increasingly dominant role in people's daily information access on the web.But the majority of users are submitting short queries, many of which are ambiguous and/or underspecified.Thus, understanding the underlying intent or information need encoded within a query has become an essential step for effective information retrieval.I also thank the other thesis committee members, Professor Kenji Terada and Professor Masami Shishibori.They have spent so much precious time in reviewing this thesis.Their constructive comments are invaluable for both the thesis and my career.
