It is common for people to engage in information acquisition tasks while on the move. To understand how users' visual behaviors influence microlearning, a form of mobile information acquisition, we conducted a shadowing study with 8…
Conversational interfaces that allow for intuitive and comprehensive access to digitally stored information remain an ambitious goal. In this thesis, we lay foundations for designing conversational search systems by analyzing the…
Informational bias is bias conveyed through sentences or clauses that provide tangential, speculative or background information that can sway readers' opinions towards entities. By nature, informational bias is context-dependent, but…
The analysis of the practices and the tendencies of the users at the time of the search for information on Internet makes it possible to highlight several points. The search for information becomes powerful after knowledge of the typology…
With the rise in popularity of social media, images accompanied by contextual text form a huge section of the web. However, search and retrieval of documents are still largely dependent on solely textual cues. Although visual cues have…
This project takes the factors of keyword selection behavior as the research object. Qualitative analysis methods such as interview and grounded theory were used to construct causal influence path model. Combined with computer simulation…
Information access systems such as search engines and generative AI are central to how people seek, evaluate, and interpret information. Yet most systems are designed to optimise retrieval rather than to help users develop better search…
The increasing reliance on digital information necessitates advancements in conversational search systems, particularly in terms of information transparency. While prior research in conversational information-seeking has concentrated on…
The amount of data for processing and categorization grows at an ever increasing rate. At the same time the demand for collaboration and transparency in organizations, government and businesses, drives the release of data from internal…
Advanced multimodal AI agents can now collaborate with users to solve challenges in the world. Yet, these emerging contextual AI systems rely on explicit communication channels between the user and system. We hypothesize that implicit…
As users advance in their search within a system, different queries are conducted and various results are examined by them. These objects form an implicit individual library representing the acquired knowledge. In our research we aim to…
Music listening preferences at a given time depend on a wide range of contextual factors, such as user emotional state, location and activity at listening time, the day of the week, the time of the day, etc. It is therefore of great…
Traditional approaches to data visualization have often focused on comparing different subsets of data, and this is reflected in the many techniques developed and evaluated over the years for visual comparison. Similarly, common workflows…
In traditional production plants, current technologies do not provide sufficient context to support information integration and interpretation. Digital transformation technologies have the potential to support contextualization, but it is…
In Social Science research, multimedia documents are often collected to answer particular research questions like: "Which of the aesthetic properties of a photo are considered important on the web" or "How has Street Art developed over the…
Visually impaired people are often confronted with new environments and they find themselves face to face with an innumerous amount of difficulties when facing these environments. Having to surpass and deal with these difficulties that…
Modern information querying systems are progressively incorporating multimodal inputs like vision and audio. However, the integration of gaze -- a modality deeply linked to user intent and increasingly accessible via gaze-tracking wearables…
The modern information environment (MIE) is increasingly complex, shaped by a wide range of techniques designed to satisfy users' information needs. Information seeking (IS) models are effective mechanisms for characterizing user-system…
Cognition does not only depend on bottom-up sensor feature abstraction, but also relies on contextual information being passed top-down. Context is higher level information that helps to predict belief states at lower levels. The main…
The rapid growth of immersive technologies in educational areas has increased research interest in analyzing the specific behavioral patterns of learners in immersive learning environments. Considering the fact that research on the…
