Comparing Traditional and LLM-based Search for Image Geolocation
CoRR(2024)
摘要
Web search engines have long served as indispensable tools for information
retrieval; user behavior and query formulation strategies have been well
studied. The introduction of search engines powered by large language models
(LLMs) suggested more conversational search and new types of query strategies.
In this paper, we compare traditional and LLM-based search for the task of
image geolocation, i.e., determining the location where an image was captured.
Our work examines user interactions, with a particular focus on query
formulation strategies. In our study, 60 participants were assigned either
traditional or LLM-based search engines as assistants for geolocation.
Participants using traditional search more accurately predicted the location of
the image compared to those using the LLM-based search. Distinct strategies
emerged between users depending on the type of assistant. Participants using
the LLM-based search issued longer, more natural language queries, but had
shorter search sessions. When reformulating their search queries, traditional
search participants tended to add more terms to their initial queries, whereas
participants using the LLM-based search consistently rephrased their initial
queries.
