Personalization in the Context of Relevance-Based Visualization.

In this talk, I will review our research attempts to implement different kinds of personalization in the context of relevance-based visualization. The goal of this research stream is to make relevance-based visualization adaptive to user long-term goals, interests, or prospects rather just responsive to short term immediate needs such as query terms. I will present four personalized relevance-based visualization systems: Adaptive VIBE, TalkExplorer, SetFusion, and IntersectionExplorer, For each system, I will present its idea, some evaluation results, and lessons learned.
