Information Visualization Interfaces for Retrieval and Analysis (IVIRA) Workshop Summary

摘要

The IVIRA workshop was held on Saturday May 31st in conjunction with the Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2003 at the Rice University Campus in Houston, Texas. Katy Borner and Javed Mostafa jointly organized the workshop. Javed Mostafa opened the half-day with a brief introduction in which he summarized the significance of three key areas in information retrieval visualization: functions, infrastructure, and evaluation. Functions of IV/IR systems include "prototypical" ones such as browse, search, refinement, and presentation. However, increasingly users demand more ― features and tools to help them interactively mine data, generate patterns, and conduct analysis on data.
