Exploratory search is an increasingly important activity yet challenging for users. Although there exists an ample amount of research into understanding exploration, most of the major information retrieval (IR) systems do not provide tailored and adaptive support for such tasks.

متن کاملVisualizing User Model in Exploratory Search Tasks
We present our ongoing work on an interactive exploratory information retrieval system designed to explain to the user the reasons for its predictions and help the user to build a mental model to predict how the system will behave. Users indicate which documents interest them and reinforcement learning is used to model the user by allowing the system to trade o↵ between exploration and exploita...
متن کاملCreating Exploratory Tasks for a Faceted Search Interface
In this paper we describe a process for creating and evaluating exploratory tasks for a faceted search interface. We used the tasks in an eye tracking study of a faceted library catalog search interface. We report on user perceptions of the tasks. The method is intended to be extensible to generate exploratory tasks for other types of interfaces and domains.

متن کاملDeveloping A Dual-Process Information Seeking Model for Exploratory Search

Our setting is the consumer health domain, where information seeking is often an exploratory search episode involving searchers who have high motivation but low ability to find a...
