abstract = {Semanticons can enhance the representation of files by offering
symbols that are both meaningful and easily distinguishable. The
semantics of a file is estimated by parsing its name, location,
and content to generate a ‘context’, which is used to query an
image database. The resulting images are simplified by segmenting
them, computing an importance value for each segmented region, and
removing unimportant regions. The abstract look-and-feel of icons
is achieved using non-photorealistic techniques for image
stylization. We increase the effectiveness of the semanticons by
compositing them with traditional and familiar interface icons.
Two psychophysical studies using semanticons as stimuli
demonstrate that semanticons decrease the time necessary to locate
a file in a visual search task and enhance performance in a memory
task.},
