Information Processing & Management, 26(5), 1996. The following two papers discuss different aspects of the same system. The first is related to this topic and to data mining. The second is related to this topic and to supporting the process of activity (although not addressing information access per se; we need to use our imagination to see how it relates). St. Amant and Cohen, Interaction with a mixed-initiative system for exploratory data analysis (draft) Knowledge-Based Systems. 10(5). In press.

(You can skip the more technical parts of this one if you like.) For Sept 23: Added on Sept 22: I mentioned this in class but neglected to list it as part of the homework assignment. Before class tomorrow please email me the following:
(If I haven't allowed enough time for this, send it as soon after class as possible.) Topic: Interfaces for subject codes. Read the three and a half papers listed below and come prepared to discuss them. Alison Brandt will be discussion leader.
These two are about the same, read one first and then read the other to
find any additional ideas. A Steven Pollitt. Interactive Information Retrieval based on Faceted Classification using Views Knowledge Organization for Information Retrieval, Proceedings of the 6th International Study Conference on Classification, University College, London 16-19 June 1997 FID/CR A S Pollitt (1998) The key role of classification and indexing in view-based searching.

Online Version Do more background reading, especially the Bates paper on berry picking and the Blair and Maron paper on evaluation. For Sept 9: Do as much background reading as you can (see prerequisites list). Here are the results of people's top-level rankings of topics. Rank order the topics according to which you would like to cover in the course, choosing among the following. First rank the six top-level topics from one to six (one is most preferred). Within each topic, indicate which, if any, of the subtopics you find particulary interesting. Also, indicate any special information I should know, for example, if you are actively doing research in one of the areas. Print out the information and mark it up for class, or else email the list to hearst@sims.berkeley.edu Topics marked in red are those for which I have proposed research projects. User Interfaces
