Visualization and Scaling of TREC Topic Document Sets.

Rorvig, Mark; Fitzpatrick, Steven

Information Processing & Management, v34 n2-3 p135-49 Mar-May 1998

Examined the use of the TREC Information Retrieval Test Collection for evaluating visual information retrieval interfaces (VIRI). Found that TREC data sets were suitable as development tools for VIRIs and traditional information retrieval systems and that the computational cost of organizing data into useful visual fields were high and related to the choice of similarity measure.
