Towards Ambient Search

چکیده
In ongoing discussions participants tend to pick up their smart phones to retrieve relevant information for clarification, severely hampering the flow of the discussion. We introduce ambient search as a variant of information retrieval where a system unobtrusively provides relevant information snippets in the background without the need to steer devices actively. In this demo paper, we describe a first prototype of our ongoing research activities towards such a system.

متن کاملTowards Designing Persuasive Ambient Visualization
This paper discusses an alternative application area for ambient information systems, coined as ‘persuasive visualization’. It investigates the recent evolution of ambient displays, from simply aiming to inform people about data patterns towards increasing awareness of themes underlying the data. Accordingly, this paper proposes the potential of ambient display techniques to encourage users to ...
متن کاملDemonstrating Ambient Search: Implicit Document Retrieval for Speech Streams
In this demonstration paper we describe Ambient Search, a system that displays and retrieves documents in real time based on speech input. The system operates continuously in ambient mode, i.e. it generates speech transcriptions and identifies main keywords and keyphrases, while also querying its index to display relevant documents without explicit query. Without user intervention, the results ...
