SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON INFORMATION CONCEPTS RETR...

As information becomes more ubiquitous and the demands that searchers have on search systems
grow  there is a need to support search behaviors beyond simple lookup. Information seeking is
the process or activity of attempting to obtain information in both human and technological
contexts. Exploratory search describes an information-seeking problem context that is
open-ended  persistent  and multifaceted  and information-seeking processes that are
opportunistic  iterative  and multitactical. Exploratory searchers aim to solve complex
problems and develop enhanced mental capacities. Exploratory search systems support this
through symbiotic human-machine relationships that provide guidance in exploring unfamiliar
information landscapes. Exploratory search has gained prominence in recent years. There is an
increased interest from the information retrieval  information science  and human-computer
interaction communities in moving beyond the traditional turn-taking interaction model
supported by major Web search engines  and toward support for human intelligence amplification
and information use. In this lecture  we introduce exploratory search  relate it to relevant
extant research  outline the features of exploratory search systems  discuss the evaluation of
these systems  and suggest some future directions for supporting exploratory search.
Exploratory search is a new frontier in the search domain and is becoming increasingly
important in shaping our future world. Table of Contents: Introduction   Defining Exploratory
Search   Related Work   Features of Exploratory Search Systems   Evaluation of Exploratory
Search Systems   Future Directions and concluding Remarks
