Personalized adaptive media interfaces for multimedia search

The personalization and adaptation of user interfaces for multimedia search engines is a subject widely studied to enhance the management of multimedia content search. In this paper, we present a new multimedia semantic search engine called BUSCAMEDIA and its adaptive user interface, which allows accessing the search system regardless of the content or user device in a unified and adaptive manner. Furthermore, with the purpose of assessing interface adaptation to user's needs and preferences, search usability is also studied. For this reason, several usability metrics have been selected and applied to create and offer a tailored design to the user.
