Exploratory Search Using Timelines
نویسندگان
چکیده
As search applications keep gathering new and diverse information sources, presenting relevant information anchored in time becomes more important. Temporal information is available in every document either explicitly, e.g., in the form of temporal expressions, or implicitly in the form of metadata. Recognizing such temporal information and exploiting it for document retrieval and presentation purposes are important features that can significantly improve the functionality of search applications. In this paper, we present an exploratory search interface that uses timelines to present and explore search results. We also describe a prototypical implementation that illustrates the main ideas of our approach. Author

NEAT: News Exploration Along Time
There are a number of efforts towards building applications that leverage temporal information in documents. The demonstration of our NEAT (News Exploration Along Time) prototype system that we propose here, is an attempt towards building an intuitive and exploratory interface for search results over large news archives using timelines. The demonstration uses the New York Times Annotated Corpus...
متن کاملTowards Supporting Exploratory Search over the Arabic Web Content: The Case of ArabXplore
Due to the huge amount of data published on the Web, the Web search process has become more difficult, and it is sometimes hard to get the expected results, especially when the users are less certain about their information needs. Several efforts have been proposed to support exploratory search on the web by using query expansion, faceted search, or supplementary information extracted from exte...
متن کاملTimelines: An Interactive System for the Collection and Visualization of Temporal Data
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers collect, analyze, and interpret information about user behavior in order to make inferences about the systems they are designing. This paper describes four paradigm shifts in HCI research and discusses how each influences data collection and analysis. Based on these trends the implications for tool design are outlined. We then describe the Timelines ...
متن کاملEvaluating Automatically Generated Timelines from the Web
As web searches increase, there is a need to represent the search results in the most comprehensible way possible. In particular, we focus on search results from queries about people and places. The standard method for presentation of search results is an ordered list determined by the Web search engine. Although this is satisfactory in some cases, when searching for people and places, presenti...
متن کاملBridging the Gap: Using IR Models for Evaluating Exploratory Search Interfaces
Exploratory Search Interfaces are being designed to support increasingly high-level search activities, such as comparison and aggregation. This position paper suggests that the history of research into user search behaviour may provide grounds for developing a combined model approach that evaluates features designed to support such exploratory search activities.
