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，在空间中的点之间找到有趣的路径，可视化结果，并支持丰富的、以人为中心的用户与查询和结果的交互。该项目将在一个新颖的、互联网规模的框架中体现这些技术，以支持大型路径搜索和可视化应用的快速开发。将通过开发几个示范应用程序进行评估。这些技术和框架将适用于健康、旅行、科学出版物搜索、产品营销和软件工程等领域的广泛重要经济问题。

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.
