Abstract:
We built two Information Retrieval systems that were targeted for the TREC-6 "aspect oriented " retrieval track. The systems were built to test the usefulness of different visualizations in an interactive IR setting---in particular, an "aspect window " for the chosen task, and a 3-D visualization of document inter-relationships. We studied 24 users of the system and report the usage of different user interface elements, whether experienced users outperformed novices, and whether spatial reasoning ability was a good predictor of effective use of 3-D.
