Searching for entities is an emerging task in Information Retrieval for which the goal is finding well defined entities instead
of documents matching the query terms. In this paper we propose a novel approach to Entity Retrieval by using Web search engine
query logs. We use Markov random walks on (1) Click Graphs – built from clickthrough data – and on (2) Session Graphs – built
from user session information. We thus provide semantic bridges between different query terms, and therefore indicate meaningful
connections between Entity Retrieval queries and related entities.
