Abstract

The questionnaire is an important technique for gathering data from subjects during interactive information retrieval (IR) experiments. Research in survey methodology, public opinion polling and psychology has demonstrated a number of response biases and behaviors that subjects exhibit when responding to questionnaires. Furthermore, research in human-computer interaction has demonstrated that subjects tend to inflate their ratings of systems when completing usability questionnaires. In this study we investigate the relationship between questionnaire mode and subjects' responses to a usability questionnaire comprised of closed and open questions administered during an interactive IR experiment. Three questionnaire modes (pen-and-paper, electronic and interview) were explored with 51 subjects who used one of two information retrieval systems. Results showed that subjects' quantitative evaluations of systems were significantly lower in the interview mode than in the electronic mode. With respect to open questions, subjects in the interview mode used significantly more words than subjects in the pen-and-paper or electronic modes to communicate their responses, and communicated a significantly higher number of response units, even though the total number of unique response units was roughly the same across condition. Finally, results showed that subjects in the pen-and-paper mode were the most efficient in communicating their responses to open questions. These results suggest that researchers should use the interview mode to elicit responses to closed questions from subjects and either pen-and-paper or electronic modes to elicit responses to open questions.

Abstract

Based on a probablistic model, proposes strategies for the initial search and an intermediate search. Retrieval experiences with the Cranfield collection of 1,400 documents show that this initial search strategy is better than conventional search strategies both in terms of retrieval effectiveness and in terms of the number of queries that retrieve relevant documents. The intermediate search is a useful substitute for a relevance feedback search. A cluster search would be an effective alternative strategy.

Abstract

Effective information seeking in an electronic library, offering a large multi use information space of materials and services, requires searchers to coordinate their reading, information seeking, and writing activities. Most interactive displays, however, do not help people monitor their problem solving. Describes a desplay, called SketchTrieve, which stresses the 'ease of expression' above all other design options and gives prominence to information seeking material, rather than 'retrieval controls'

Abstract

Presents an integrated approach to image retrieval that makes use of both image and text features. Uses objects in the image and their locations as image features which are derived semi-automatically. Defines a similarity measure which combines the result of image and text query matching, and which considers the relative importance of each to the user. Moreover, the image matching considers the spatial similarity between a query object and an image object. Uses standard techniques for text indexing and matching. Provides a multimodal query interface by which users can retrieve pictures based on image or text or both. ELCAIR, an extensible class library for information retrieval, provides the basis for the resultant picture indexing and retrieval system
