EuroHCIR 2011: The 1st European Workshop on Human-Computer Interaction and Information Retrieval
From the website:
HCIR, or Human-Computer Information Retrieval, was a phrase coined by Gary Marchionini in 2005 and is representative of the growing interest in uniting both those who are interested in how information systems are built (the Information Retrieval community) and those who are interested in how humans search for information (the Human-Computer Interaction and Information Seeking communities). Four increasingly popular workshops and an NSF funded event , have brought focus to this multi-disciplinary issue in the USA , and the aim of EuroHCIR 2011 is to focus the European community in the same way.
Consequently, the EuroHCIR workshop has four main goals:
- Present and discuss novel HCIR designs, systems, and findings.
- Identify and unite European researchers and industry professionals working in this area.
- Facilitate and encourage collaboration and joint academic and industry ventures.
- Define and coordinate a vision for the community for future EuroHCIR events.
The topics for the workshop look quite interesting:
- Novel interaction techniques for information retrieval.
- Modelling and evaluation of interactive information retrieval.
- Exploratory search and information discovery.
- Information visualization and visual analytics.
- Applications of HCI techniques to information retrieval needs in specific domains.
- Ethnography and user studies relevant to information retrieval and access.
- Scale and efficiency considerations for interactive information retrieval systems.
- Relevance feedback and active learning approaches for information retrieval.
