“…Our work on ImageSieve follows what we can call an “HCI route” in developing powerful interfaces to interactively analyze and explore search results. In addition to the modern stream of work on faceted browsing (Capra, Marchionini, Oh, Stutzman, & Zhang, 2007; Karlson, et al, 2006; Marchionini & Brunk, 2003; Perugini, 2010; Roy, Wang, Das, Nambiar, & Mohania, 2008; Yee, et al, 2003), which was analyzed in the introduction, we should acknowledge two other streams of research that directly inspired this work. One stream is represented by several types of information visualization systems that allow the user to examine the relationship between documents and keywords such as Tilebars (Hearst, 1995), VIBE (Olsen, Korfhage, Sochats, Spring, & Williams, 1993), and other relevance‐based visualization and exploration techniques.…”

Over the last few years, faceted search emerged as an attractive alternative to the traditional "text box" search and has become one of the standard ways of interaction on many e-commerce sites. However, these applications of faceted search are limited to domains where the objects of interests have already been classified along several independent dimensions, such as price, year, or brand. While automatic approaches to generate faceted search interfaces were proposed, it is not yet clear to what extent the automatically-produced interfaces will be useful to real users, and whether their quality can match or surpass their manually-produced predecessors. The goal of this paper is to introduce an exploratory search interface called ImageSieve, which shares many features with traditional faceted browsing, but can function without the use of traditional faceted metadata. ImageSieve uses automatically extracted and classified named entities, which play important roles in many domains (such as news collections, image archives, etc.). We describe one specific application of ImageSieve for image search. Here, named entities extracted from the descriptions of the retrieved images are used to organize a faceted browsing interface, which then helps users to make sense of and further explore the retrieved images. The results of a user study of ImageSieve demonstrate that a faceted search system based on named entities can help users explore large collections and find relevant information more effectively.

“…The basic idea of information visualization is to map a large number of information items in such a way that the information is easier to understand. Many studies have focused on faceted navigation [6,14,15]; however, there are usability problems, including a lack of consistency in operation (such as using buttons for discrete attributes and a slider for a continuous ones), difficulty in recognizing the acceptable values for each attribute and specifying appropriate search keys, and the complexity of grasping retrieved results containing nodes and links.…”

We describe the graphical search interface we have developed for multi-faceted hierarchical metadata and a video navigation system implementing this 'Revolving Cube Show' interface. This interface can treat discrete, continuous, and hierarchical attributes, enabling users to search flexibly and intuitively by using simple operations to combine attributes. Testing using data on 5495 Japanese TV programs and five attributes (channel, time zone, airtime, genre, and performer) showed that users were able to easily combine the various attributes to create dynamic search hierarchies.

“…Pour atteindre cet objectif, des outils tels que les listes d'autorité, les thésaurus et les ontologies 1 sont conçus et mis à la disposition des usagers et des utilisateurs. Ces outils sont particulièrement utiles pendant les étapes de repérage et de récupération des documents du processus de recherche d'information (Aytac et al, 2011 ;Greenberg, 2011 ;Perugini, 2010 ;Tennis et Sutton, 2008). 2 Dans une première acception, le thésaurus, l'ontologie ou le système d'organisation des connaissances d'une façon générale peuvent être décrits comme une collection de concepts.…”
