Applying Wikipedia to Interactive Information Retrieval
… opportunities to improve the interactivity of information retrieval systems beyond the ubiquitous search box. One idea is to use knowledge bases—e.g. controlled vocabularies, classification schemes, thesauri and ontologies—to organize, describe and navigate the information space. These …

User Simulation in Interactive Information Retrieval : methods and frameworks for simulating complex search behavior
Modern information retrieval (IR) systems, including web search engines and digital libraries, face challenges in simulating realistic user search behavior. Evolving interaction patterns and the integration of AI-powered interfaces make these challenges even harder. Traditional evaluation methods …

Information retrieval as card playing: a formal model for optimizing interactive retrieval interface
We propose a novel formal model for optimizing interactive information retrieval interfaces. To model interactive retrieval in a general way, we frame the task of an interactive retrieval system as to choose a sequence of interface cards to present to the user. At each interaction lap, the system's …

Generalizability and Reproducibility of Search Engine Online User Studies
Research in interactive information retrieval (IR) usually relies on lab user studies or online ones. A key concern of these studies is the generalizability and reproducibility of the results, especially when the studies involved only a limited number of participants. The interactive IR community, …

A virtual vocabulary speech recognizer
… a multi-modal communication interface. A highly interactive information retrieval system serves as a sample application. This system is detailed, and features which make it an appropriate application for the speech system are identified.

Forms for electronic books
… proposed as a candidate form for new electronic information systems. The electronic book casts the powerfully expressive new media of computers and video in the accessible forms of the printed book. It is a testbed for developing novel methods of interactive information retrieval and perusal that …

The audio-graphical interface to a personal integrated telecommunications system
… It is a testbed for developing novel methods of interactive information retrieval that are as intuitive and useful as the spoken word. A personalized telecommunications management system that handles both voice and electronic mail mess.ages through a unified user interface is described. Incoming …

Adaptivescreen: an adaptive news browser for laptops and mobile devices
Optimizing interactive information retrieval interfaces is a new trend in IR which focuses more on the interface design and formalizes interactive IR. However, none of existing work has proposed a system to support both adaptive web design and navigational interface, a primary goal of this thesis. …

Klink Search: Enabling Exploratory Browsing Activities in Digital Libraries
… are open-ended, multi-faceted, with ill-defined information needs, requiring cognitive processing of the encountered information and learning. Academic digital library searchers often use exploratory search strategies for complex search tasks. However, the present academic digital library search …

An integrated approach for multimedia information retrieval.
Retrieving information effectively from multimedia collections is an open research problem. This investigation addresses this retrieval problem in a generic way. A framework for multimedia information retrieval has been developed in which multiple feature representation and matching schemes can be …

User-Centered Adaptive Information Retrieval
Information retrieval systems are critical for overcoming information overload. A major deficiency of existing retrieval systems is that they generally lack user modeling and are not adaptive to individual users. Personalization is expected to break this deficiency and significantly improve …

Curiosity driven search experiences
… express and satisfy hedonistic needs rather than information needs as part of the information-seeking process. For example, individuals who search their social media universe for hours after a long day at work may do so out of curiosity, to relax or for fun (e.g. exploring for the experience). …

A formal framework for optimizing and evaluating interactive retrieval system
… have seen dramatic increase in the amount of information available to us, and the research area of information retrieval has served to help us access the tiny subset of information relevant to each of us more efficiently and more effectively. This thesis studies how to formally optimize as …

The development of a model of information seeking behaviour of students in higher education when using internet search engines.
This thesis develops a model of Web information seeking behaviour of postgraduate students with a specific focus on Web search engines' use. It extends Marchionini's eight stage model of information seeking, geared towards electronic environments, to holistically encompass the physical, cognitive, …
