....level of excitement to users in general, but they are not shown to be more effective than 2 D interfaces [Com99] Some other visualization techniques may be too complicated for casual users or look too cluttered. Still other techniques fall short of the types of information given to the users [Vee97, Byr99]. Our visual interface provides cluster information and document relevance in terms of the similarity values to the individual query terms as well as to the whole query. We also propose a special purpose intermediary server that supports the visual interface by handling a large amount of ....

....affecting the others. We implemented a subset of MIRV on top of JITRS and of JDC, writing in Java and using Swing extensively. Swing contains an object oriented GUI toolkit, and the capability it offered of overriding methods of GUI objects greatly eased implementation of one visualization (see Byrd 1999). For simplicity, the initial version of the system does not support any form of query expansion (relevance feedback, LCA, etc. however, it has been designed so that query expansion can easily be added. In implementing the MIRV subset, we made several changes to the visualizations: these are ....
....2:03 PM 23 Figure 11 (implementation) Document viewer with scrollbar visualization (Vquerydoc2) 6. Evaluation A. Evaluation Completed: Vquery doc2 with Ordinary Users Although our motivation for beginning this work involved expert searchers, we are equally interested in ordinary users, and Byrd (1999) describes in some detail a formal user study of Vquery doc2 with a population of students. Here is a summary of the study and its conclusions. THE EXPERIMENT We compared an experimental system with visualization to a control system. Note that we were interested only in the document viewer, ....
