论文摘要
尽管研究论文对科学进步至关重要,但它们可能很难阅读。当需要理解一段段落的信息位于其他地方时,通常会阻碍理解:在另一部分或另一个论文中。在这项工作中,我们设想界面如何将技术术语和符号的定义带给读者最需要的何时何地。我们介绍了一个具有四个新颖特征的增强阅读界面:(1)纸张中其他位置的表面位置敏感的工具,(2)纸上的过滤器“脱离”它以“偏离”它,以揭示整个论文中使用的术语或符号,(3)自动方程式如何在平行的符号和(4)符号和自动生成的符号中,并且是符合自动符号的符号和符号。一项可用性研究表明,该工具可以帮助所有经验水平的研究人员阅读论文。此外,研究人员渴望拥有Scholarphi的定义来支持他们的日常阅读。
Despite the central importance of research papers to scientific progress, they can be difficult to read. Comprehension is often stymied when the information needed to understand a passage resides somewhere else: in another section, or in another paper. In this work, we envision how interfaces can bring definitions of technical terms and symbols to readers when and where they need them most. We introduce ScholarPhi, an augmented reading interface with four novel features: (1) tooltips that surface position-sensitive definitions from elsewhere in a paper, (2) a filter over the paper that "declutters" it to reveal how the term or symbol is used across the paper, (3) automatic equation diagrams that expose multiple definitions in parallel, and (4) an automatically generated glossary of important terms and symbols. A usability study showed that the tool helps researchers of all experience levels read papers. Furthermore, researchers were eager to have ScholarPhi's definitions available to support their everyday reading.
