FaThumb: a Facet-Based Interface for Mobile Search

by Amy K. Karlson, George Robertson, Daniel C. Robbins, Mary Czerwinski, Greg Smith - In Procs of the Conference on Human Factors in computing systems, CHI’06 , 2006
"... In this paper we describe a novel approach for searching large data sets from a mobile phone. Existing interfaces for mobile search require keyword text entry and are not suited for browsing. Our alternative uses a hybrid model to deemphasize tedious keyword entry in favor of iterative data filterin ..."

Mambo: A Facet-based Zoomable Music Browser

by unknown authors
"... Current mobile music players and managers rely on scrolling long and hierarchically structured lists of items. They do not scale well to various screen sizes. As a solution, this paper introduces Mam-bo for browsing personal music collections on mobile and other devices. Songs, albums, or artists ca ..."

can be browsed and filtered according to different hierarchical metadata facets such as time, genre, or alphabet. The FacetZoom widget constitutes the basic metaphor and combines visual faceted browsing with zoomable user interfaces. To search, browse, and filter data in a consistent way, we

Faceted metadata for image search and browsing

by Ka-ping Yee, Kirsten Swearingen, Kevin Li, Marti Hearst - In ACM Conference on Computer-Human Interaction , 2003
"... There are currently two dominant interface types for searching and browsing large image collections: keyword-based search, and searching by overall similarity to sample images. This paper presents an alternative in which users are able to navigate explicitly along conceptual dimensions that describe ..."

that describe the images. The interface makes use of hierarchical faceted metadata and dynamically generated query previews. A usability study, conducted with 32 art history students exploring a collection of 35,000 fine arts images, compares this approach to a standard image search interface. Despite

by Thierry Urruty, Frank Hopfgartner, Robert Villa, Nicholas Gildea, Joemon M. Jose
"... The recent increase of online video has challenged the research in the field of video information retrieval. Video search engines are becoming more and more interactive, helping the user to easily find what he or she is looking for. In this poster, we present a new approach of using an iterative clu ..."

On Faceted Search over Knowledge Bases?

by Bernardo Cuenca Grau, Evgeny Kharlamov, Dmitriy Zheleznyakov, Marcelo Arenas
"... [3] for storing, publishing, and querying semistructured data. The functionality of many such applications is enhanced with OWL 2 ontologies [1], which are used to provide a conceptual layer on top of data and enrich query answers with implicit information. Although the growing popularity of RDF, OW ..."

-defined fragments of SPARQL 1.1. Faceted search is a prominent approach for accessing document collections that allows users to narrow down search results by incrementally applying filters, called facets, on the annotations associated to documents [18]. Faceted search has become a mainstream commercial technology

A Large Scale Study of Wireless Search Behavior: Google Mobile Search

by Maryam Kamvar, Shumeet Baluja - CHI 2006 , 2006
"... We present a large scale study of search patterns on Google’s mobile search interface. Our goal is to understand the current state of wireless search by analyzing over 1 Million hits to Google's mobile search sites. Our study also includes the examination of search queries and the general categ ..."

Interaction in 4-second bursts: The fragmented nature of attentional resources in mobile HCI

by Antti Oulasvirta, Sakari Tamminen, Virpi Roto, Jaana Kuorelahti - Proceedings of CHI’05 , 2005
"... When on the move, cognitive resources are reserved partly for passively monitoring and reacting to contexts and events, and partly for actively constructing them. The Resource Competition Framework (RCF), building on the Multiple Resources Theory, explains how psychosocial tasks typical of mobile si ..."

Web search tasks on mobile phone while moving through nine varied but typical urban situations. Notably, we discovered up to eight-fold differentials between micro-level measurements of attentional resource fragmentation, for example from spans of over 16 seconds in a laboratory condition dropping

/facet: A Browser for Heterogeneous Semantic Web Repositories

by Michiel Hildebrand, Jacco van Ossenbruggen, Lynda Hardman , 2006
"... Facet browsing has become popular as a user friendly interface to data repositories. We extend facet browsing of Semantic Web data in five ways. First, users are able to select and navigate through facets of resources of any type and to make selections based on properties of other, semantically rela ..."

The interface of our browser, /facet, allows the inclusion of facet-specific display options that go beyond the hierarchical navigation that characterizes current

Visual Interfaces for Improved Mobile Search

by Karen Church, Barry Smyth, Nuria Oliver
"... The Mobile Web promises a new age of anytime, anywhere information access to billions of users across the globe. However, the Mobile Internet represents a challenging information access environment, particularly from a search standpoint. In this paper we present two visual interfaces for improved mo ..."

Second, we consider the social context of mobile search and present SocialSearchBrowser; a proofof-concept interface

Interactive Retrieval Based on Faceted Feedback
