A User Interface of Relevance Feedback for Interactive Information Retrieval Systems

A dual interactive information retrieval (DIIR) system takes into account not only relevance of documents, but also possible effects of the retrieved documents on user feedback when deciding which documents should be retrieved thus optimizing the search session. Such optimization can improve quality of information retrieval, especially under uncertainty and long information search. Since these methods assume availability of a feedback, organization of the documents in topics and iterative information search process, then new user interfaces need to be developed for possibility of use of the new methods. A user interface for DIIR system is proposed in the paper, after a description of DIIR.
