Interactive visual facets to support fluid exploratory search

چکیده
Abstract Exploratory search starts with ill-defined goals and involves browsing, learning, formulating new targets for search. To fluidly support such dynamic behaviours, we focus on devising interactive visual facets (IVF) , visualising information to user comprehension control of the space. We reviewed existing faceted interfaces derived two design requirements (DR) that have not been fully addressed fluid interactions in exploratory then exemplified through an IVF tool, which coordinates a linear categorical facet representing distribution summarisation items, respectively, providing context exploration (DR1). rapid transitions between criteria (DR2), tool introduces novel concept using select items without filtering item Particularly, propose filter-swipe technique enables users drag value sequentially over bars view intersection along dynamically summarising intersection. Three applications various datasets demonstrate how features discovery ease. A comparison baseline system provided evidence task performance was comparable typical query interface. Another study 11 participants realistic email tasks shows suggestions timeline navigation can help discover useful search; favoured values as filters. Based these practices, derive implications fluid, searches. Graphical abstract

Interactive Graphical Displays for Visual Information Browsing and Exploratory Search
This paper discusses the use of interactive graphical displays in the solution of a problem from information science. The problem is to support visual information browsing in such a way that the structure (pattern of interrelationships between items) in one information source can be used to guide the exploration or search of another (potentially unrelated) source. The aspects of the problem whi...
متن کاملPresenting Query Aspects to Support Exploratory Search
Successful information search requires a joint effort from both syntactic matching provided by current search engines and semantic matching performed by human users. Word-based syntactic matching schemes work well for tasks such as homepage finding or fact finding, but they are less effective in supporting exploratory search tasks such as learning and investigation. One way to overcome this lim...
متن کاملVisual Search Analytics: Combining Machine Learning and Interactive Visualization to Support Human-Centred Search
Searching within large online document collections has become a common activity in our modern information-centric society. While simple fact verification tasks are well supported by current search technologies, when the search tasks become more complex, a substantial cognitive burden is placed on the searcher to craft and refine their queries, evaluate and explore among the search results, and ...
متن کاملConversational Exploratory Search via Interactive Storytelling
Conversational interfaces are likely to become more efficient, intuitive and engaging way for human-computer interaction than today’s text or touch-based interfaces. Current research efforts concerning conversational interfaces focus primarily on question answering functionality, thereby neglecting support for search activities beyond targeted information lookup. Users engage in exploratory sea...
