This article reviews how empirical research of exploratory search is conducted. We
investigated aspects of interdisciplinarity, study settings and evaluation methodologies from …

Intention-based, anticipatory, interactive systems (IAIS) represent a new class of user-
centered assistance systems. IAIS uses actions and system intentions derived from signal …

This paper is motivated by prospective Internet of Things (IoT) applications that exploit inputs
from online open sources whose reliability may be uncertain. Unlike physical signal fusion …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand how users behave and evaluate how
systems with users are essential for interactive information retrieval (IIR) research. User …

Adaptive information retrieval systems could provide users individual support for their
current search activity. For that a clear detection and understanding of such activities are a …

Many past research efforts have examined the relationships between observable search
behaviors, the task that drives searching, and user characteristics such as search expertise …

Not all search engine users perform equally well in terms of search result quality and search
time. This variety depends on many different external and personal factors. In this work, we …

Designing user-adaptive search systems necessitates modeling the user's knowledge state
during information seeking. Gaze data offers insights into cognitive processes during task …

Understanding the search behavior of users based on their current interaction with an
information retrieval system, such as a search engine, can be quite beneficial to develop …

Nowadays, it has become a crucial skill to gather information from the Internet to satisfy a
current information need. Information Retrieval (IR) systems provide such frameworks to …
