Bridging the Gap: Using IR Models for Evaluating Exploratory Search Interfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

A Nine Month Report on Progress Towards a Framework for Evaluating Advanced Search Interfaces considering Information Retrieval and Human Computer Interaction
This is a nine month progress report detailing my research into supporting users in their search for information, where the questions, results or even their environment requires functionality beyond the scope of keyword search alone. While keyword search environments, such as Google, have become the familiar standard for search on the web, research has shown that users, who may not know which k...
متن کاملEvaluating advanced search interfaces using established information-seeking models
When users have poorly defined or complex goals search interfaces offering only keyword searching facilities provide inadequate support to help them reach their information-seeking objectives. The emergence of interfaces with more advanced capabilities such as faceted browsing and result clustering can go some way to some way toward addressing such problems. The evaluation of these interfaces, ...

متن کاملA Study of Search Intermediary Working Notes: Implications for IR System Design
This paper reports findings from an exploratory study investigating working notes created during encoding and external storage (EES) processes, by human search intermediates using a Boolean information retrieval (JR) system. EES processes have been an important area of research in educational contexts where students create and use notes to facilitate learning. In the context of interactive IR, ...
متن کاملSearching Wikipedia: learning the why, the how, and the role played by emotion
Searching Wikipedia has been the focus of study for an increasing number of information retrieval publications. In recent years different IR tasks have used Wikipedia as a basis for evaluating algorithms and interfaces for various types of search tasks, including Question Answering, Exploratory Search, Entity Search and Structured Document retrieval. Despite being associated with these well-def...
