Task Oriented Tools for Information Retrieval
Direct linkDirect link
Yang, Peilin – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Information Retrieval (IR) is one of the most evolving research fields and has drawn extensive attention in recent years. Because of its empirical nature, the advance of the IR field is closely related to the development of various toolkits. While the traditional IR toolkit mainly provides a platform to evaluate the effectiveness of retrieval…

Geometric Models for Collaborative Search and Filtering
Direct linkDirect link
Bitton, Ephrat – ProQuest LLC, 2011
This dissertation explores the use of geometric and graphical models for a variety of information search and filtering applications. These models serve to provide an intuitive understanding of the problem domains and as well as computational efficiencies to our solution approaches. We begin by considering a search and rescue scenario where both…

Interaction in Information Searching and Retrieval.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Beaulieu, Micheline – Journal of Documentation, 2000
Explores the concepts of interaction and interactivity presented in different theoretical models in the fields of human-computer interaction (HCI) and information-seeking/searching behavior, and relates these to information retrieval (IR) research. Suggests that interaction in HCI is primarily concerned with establishing a user/system dialogue at…

Developing a User-process Model for Designing Menu-based Interfaces: An Exploratory Study.
Ju, Boryung; Gluck, Myke – Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, 2003
The purpose of this study was to organize menu items based on a user-process model and implement a new version of current software for enhancing usability of interfaces. A user-process model was developed, drawn from actual users' understanding of their goals and strategies to solve their information needs by using Dervin's Sense-Making Theory…

The Stratified Model of Information Retrieval Interaction: Extension and Applications.
Saracevic, Tefko – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1997
Presents a stratified model of information retrieval interaction that views interaction as a dialog between participants (user and computer) through an interface. Discusses traditional and interaction models, and extension to relevance, user modeling, search term selection, and types of feedback in information retrieval. (AEF)
