SyncRerank: Reranking Multi Search Results Based on Vertical and Horizontal Propagation of User Intention

This paper proposes novel interaction techniques for parallel search tasks. The system displays multiple search results, returned by a search engine, side-by-side for each search query. The system enables the user to rerank search results using a reranking algorithm based on vertical and horizontal propagation of his/her intention. A method of recommending operations for specific keywords is also proposed, supporting operations such as a shift to a parallel search with an alternate term, upgrading or downgrading results in terms of a specific viewpoint, and so on. Applications for the proposed system are also discussed.
