Plenary Session: The Future of Information Discovery
User expectations are shaping the future of information discovery.
And effective search strategies for Web-oriented databases and massive cloud
computing resources have raised their expectations regarding the remarkable
opportunities in exploratory search that can lead to productive discoveries.
Collaborative searching techniques combined with social networking have the
potential to harness collective intelligence so that domain experts and
novices alike can make important discoveries across integrated databases.
Designers of creativity support tools (demonstrations will be presented) are
applying advanced visualizations in innovative ways to provide visual overviews
with interactive tools that enable systematic yet flexible exploration. The
best is yet to come!
Speakers:
Dr. Ben Shneiderman, Professor, Computer Science and Founding Director of
the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory, University of Maryland
Title: The Future of Information Discovery
Abstract: Effective search strategies for Web sites and databases have
raised user expectations, but there are still great opportunities in
supporting exploratory search that leads to productive discoveries.
Collaborative searching techniques combined with social networking have the
potential to harness collective intelligence so that domain experts and
novices can make important discoveries. Designers of creativity support tools
are applying advanced visualizations in innovative ways to provide overviews
with tools that enable systematic yet flexible exploration. The best is yet
to come.

Title: Visualizing Search Results from Multiple Databases
Abstract: The presentation of search results is still almost exclusively a
list, sometimes ranked by parameters such as relevance or date. Knowing that
most end-users rarely surf beyond the first or second screen, a very small
percentage or search results are ever seen or even considered by the
end-user. Visualization, textually or graphically, is a viable solution to
this problem, offering the end-user greater power to select those results
that are most useful. Visualization also gives the content creator greater
assurance that their work will be given a fair chance to be viewed. When
searching on federated sources, it is even more important to put control of
what is seen in the hands of the end-user. This talk will address the
visualization of federated search results and include meaningful demos. The
concept of visualization as an alternative to keyword search will be
raised.
Susan Dumais, Senior Researcher, Microsoft Researcher
Title: Search and Context
Abstract: Today most search systems treat queries in isolation, without
regard to searchers previous queries and interactions. Context is a key to
improving search by understanding searchers interests, the rich
interrelationships among objects, and the larger task environments in which
information needs arise. Understanding and incorporating these contextual
variables into search algorithms and interfaces will dramatically change the
information landscape in the next decade. Demos of systems that support rich
metadata and tagging (Phlat) and personalization (PSearch) will be shown.
