Design for Interaction

Summary: Bridges IR and DB usability via HCIR, reframing retrieval as a bidirectional communication problem, not a pure ranking task. Proposes interactive set retrieval that, from the user’s context, offers an overview and incremental exploration options to co-design results. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
