CoSense: Enhancing Sensemaking for Collaborative Web Search Sharoda A. Paul Meredith Ringel Morris Apr 8, 2009
Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant - Mitchell Kapor
Making sense of information found during a Web search task can be daunting
During  collaborative  Web search tasks, making sense of information can be even more complex and challenging “ How does sensemaking occur during collaborative Web search task?”
Goals ,[object Object],[object Object]
Background: Sensemaking  ,[object Object],[object Object],Sensemaking is finding meaning or understanding of information ,[object Object]
Background: Collaborative Sensemaking ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Background: Collaborative Web search ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
What we did ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
SearchTogether (UIST, 2007) Query history Search session Add comments and ratings to Web pages Chat with collaborators
SearchTogether: Features ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Formative study: Design ,[object Object],Phase 1 Phase 2 Group ST ST ST ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Data collection SearchTogether Tools used 6 groups (3 in each group) Participants Vacation planning 2-phase design Task
Formative study: Findings ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
CoSense ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Database SearchTogether CoSense
Search strategies view (1)

Timeline view

Chat-centric view
Evaluation of CoSense ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Data collection SearchTogether and CoSense Tools used 18 participants (4 in each group) Participants Vacation planning  2-phase design Task
Evaluation of CoSense: Data collection ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],“ Which group member do you think contributed most to the task and why?” “ Which websites generated a lot of discussion?”
Evaluation of CoSense: Findings ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
CoSense view usage: During task (1) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
CoSense view usage: During task (2) ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
CoSense view usage: During questionnaire  ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
CoSense usage during handoff “ The tag clouds and statistics on how many queries had been done, what were the group’s sites, and what is their popularity, helped me immensely …I was able to plan [the search] better using the websites and keywords ” “ The flow of the search was hard to tell [by looking at SearchTogether]. The timeline in CoSense helped because of the information about order of queries. I identified what had already been done ”
Discussion ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Conclusion ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Future work ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Editor's Notes

  1. Good afternoon ladies and gentleman, thank you for attending this talk. I am Sharoda Paul from Penn State University and I’m going to present our paper ‘Cosense: Enhancing Sensemaking in Collaborative Web Search, written with my co-author Meredith Morris of Microsoft Research. The study I am presenting explored how people make sense of information found during collaborative Web search tasks. For instance, if a group of friends are planning to go on a vacation, they might each go online and search the Web for fun activities to add to their vacation itinerary. The question we explored in our study is ‘how do people make sense of the information generated during such a collaborative Web search task.
