Finding and exploiting interesting paths in multidimensional information spaces

该项目将发明一种新的方法，用于在大型复杂信息空间中进行搜索，在空间内的点之间寻找有趣的路径，将结果可视化，并支持丰富的、以人为中心的用户与查询和结果的交互。该项目将把这些技术体现在一个新颖的、互联网规模的框架中，以支持大型路径搜索和可视化应用程序的快速开发。评估将通过几个范例应用程序的开发。这些技术和框架将适用于卫生、旅游、科学出版物搜索、产品营销和软件工程等不同领域的广泛经济重要问题。

This project will invent a new approach for searching within a large complex information space, finding interesting paths between points within the space, visualising the results, and supporting rich, human-centric user interaction with queries and results. This project will embody these techniques in a novel, internet-scale framework to support rapid development of large path search and visualisation applications. Evaluation will be via development of several exemplar applications. The techniques and framework will be applicable to a broad range of economically important problems in areas as diverse as health, travel, scientific publication search, product marketing and software engineering.
