可视化搜索用户界面

Visual Search User Interfaces

可视化搜索用户界面直观且交互能力强,已在众多搜索引擎中被大量采用.文中对可视化用户界面在搜索系统中的应用进行了总结,分别就查询表达式如何可视化以及搜索结果的可视化组织进行了深入探讨;详细介绍了基于分类和基于特征的查询表达式可视化,以及可视化结果组织方法.最后对可视化搜索用户界面领域进行了展望,认为自然化的交互方式、非文本数据、数据规模以及社会化将对该领域产生巨大影响,相关技术值得进一步探索.

Visual search user interfaces are intuitive and with strong ability of interaction, which have been widely adopted in many search engines. In this paper, applications of visual user interface in the search system are summarized. We respectively investigate how to visualize query formulations and how to organize search results in visualization. And we investigate both classification based and feature based visualization of query formulation, and then describe methods of how to organize search results in visualization. At last, this paper concludes that natural interaction, non-text data, data scale and socialization will have a huge impact on visual search user interface, and those relative technologies are worth study in further.
