Desktop Search Workshop
Understanding, Supporting, and Evaluating Personal Data Search
*A SIGIR 2010 workshop, July 23, Geneva, Switzerland*
http://www.cdvp.dcu.ie/DS2010/
*Desktop search* refers to the process of searching within one’s personal
space of information. The information searched during a desktop search can
include content that resides on one's personal computer (e.g., documents,
emails, visited Web pages, and multimedia files), and may extend to content
on other personal devices, such as music players and mobile phones. Despite
recent research interest, desktop search is under-explored compared to other
search domains such as the web, semi-structured data, or flat text.
This workshop will bring together academics and industrial
practitionersinterested in desktop search with the goal of fostering
collaborations and
addressing the challenges faced in this area. The workshop will be
structured to encourage group discussion and active collaboration among
attendees. We encourage participation from people in the fields of
information retrieval, personal information management, natural language
processing, human-computer interaction, and related areas.
The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
- Understanding desktop search behavior
· Studies of desktop search behavior
· Desktop query log analysis
· Psychological aspects of re-finding (e.g., people’s memories of
items)
- Supporting desktop search
· Retrieval approaches (e.g., content analysis, search algorithms)
· Personalization to account for highly individual collections and
needs
· Interfaces for desktop search and presentation of results
- Evaluating desktop search
· Evaluation approaches (e.g., test collections, lab studies, log
analyses)
· Test set creation (e.g., common reference task, common corpora)
- Other uses of desktop collections
· Life-logging
· Introspection and reflection using personal collections
