User Control in Adaptive Information Access

Abstract

Adaptive information access systems is one of the most popular types of adaptive systems. It includes adaptive search, recommender system, adaptive navigation support, and adaptive information visualization. This is also one of the oldest types of adaptive systems where the ideas of user control were explored. Motivated by a timely selection of user control as the theme of UMAP 2022, this tutorial provides a systematic review of approaches focused on adding various kinds of user control to adaptive information access systems and discuss lessons learned, prospects, and challenges of this direction of research.
