A Pluggable Work-bench for Creating Interactive IR Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information Retrieval (IR) has benefited from standard evaluation practices and re-usable software components, that enable comparability between systems and experiments. However, Interactive IR (IIR) has had only very limited benefit from these developments, in part because experiments are still built using bespoke components and interfaces. In this paper we propose a flexible workbench for constructing IIR interfaces that will standardise aspects of the IIR experiment process to improve the comparability and reproducibility of IIR experiments.

Principles for Human-Centred Design of IR Interfaces
Since the ‘80s, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) researchers have performed a lot of work to identify principles, techniques, and methodologies that can support design, evaluation and implementation of interactive systems that fulfill needs and expectations of their users. This chapter discusses concepts, such as usability and user experience, which are of great importance for the success of in...
متن کاملThe OTI Constraint Solver: A Constraint Library for Constructing Interactive Graphical User Interfaces
ENVY/Constraints is an IBM/Smalltalk library that provides a constraint satisser and a collection of useful constraints, targeted at developing interactive graphical user interfaces. The solver supports multi-way constraints and constraint hierarchies. It uses a hybrid algorithm, combining local propagation with pluggable cycle solvers, allowing constraints to range over arbitrary objects, whil...
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 کاملA Toolset for Creating Iconic Interfaces for Interactive Workspaces
To work productively in an interactive workspace, users need effective interfaces for seamlessly sharing, annotating, and juxtaposing digital information across heterogeneous devices. In this paper, we present an interface toolset for constructing and using iconic interfaces for interactive workspaces. Using an iconic representation of the physical workspace, users can quickly and easily reloca...
