FXPAL collaborative exploratory video search system

ABSTRACT

This paper describes FXPAL's collaborative, exploratory interactive video search application. We introduce a new approach to information retrieval: algorithmic mediation in support of intentional, synchronous collaborative exploratory search. Using our system, two or more users with a common information need search together, simultaneously. The collaborative system provides tools, user interfaces and, most importantly, algorithmically-mediated retrieval to focus, enhance and augment the team's search and communication activities.
