Personalized adaptive media interfaces for multimedia search

The personalization and adaptation of user interfaces for multimedia search engines is a subject widely studied to enhance the management of multimedia content search. In this paper, we present a new multimedia semantic search engine called BUSCAMEDIA and its adaptive user interface, which allows accessing the search system regardless of the content or user device in a unified and adaptive manner. Furthermore, with the purpose of assessing interface adaptation to user´s needs and preferences, search usability is also studied. For this reason, several usability metrics have been selected and applied to create and offer a tailored design to the user.
