ABSTRACT
This session brings together several leading structure visualization and browsing technologies for an entertaining yet informative "live" comparison. Users of each system will compete "head-to-head" in a series of races designed to simulate the stressful conditions under which real world browsing often takes place. Expert and novice operators will use four different visualization and browsing tools to complete a set of generic retrieval tasks as quickly and accurately as possible within the same information space. Attendees will be able to see for themselves which techniques work well or poorly as each system demonstrates its potential for a range of users.

Recommendations
Browse to search, visualize to explore
A novel visualization-based information retrieval (IR) system is presented.Text-based and visualization-based systems were compared on several attributes of usability.Visualization-based IR model is more appropriate for explorative search ...
