In this paper we develop a generalized approach to visualizing and controlling an optimization process. Our framework, called Human-Guided Search, actively involves people in the process of optimization. We provide simple and general visual metaphors that allow users to focus and constrain the exploration of the search space. We demonstrate that these metaphors apply to a wide variety of problems and optimization algorithms. Our software toolkit supports rapid development of human-guided search systems.
