A Study of User Interface for Document Browsing

在这个项目中，我们研究了用户界面设计和自然语言处理技术来构建应用程序，以便在用户浏览web文档时动态地提供相关信息。该研究涉及一种称为web mash - up的技术，该技术由嵌入在浏览器中的客户端处理各种用户操作和服务器实现，该服务器与该客户端通信并向用户提供相关信息。对客户的研究是通过公司关系进行的，最终导致了一个成功的创业公司，由参与该项目的一名学生建立。此外，还研究了用于提取相关/附加信息的各种自然语言技术，并取得了学术成果，包括期刊和会议论文以及邀请演讲。

In this project, we studied user interface design and natural language processing techniques to build applications to provide related information dynamically to the users when browsing web documents. The study relates to a technique called web mash up which is realized by a client embedded in the browser handling various user actions and a server which communicates with this client and provides the related information to the user. The study of the client was conducted through corporation relations and finally led to a successul entrepreneur company established by a student involved in the project. Moreover, various natural language techniques for extracting related/additional information were studied and this led to academic results including journal and conference papers and invited talks.
