Date: 04-Mar-2014 - 04-Mar-2014
Location: Berlin, Germany 
Contact Person: Udo Kruschwitz
Meeting Email: udo at essex.ac.uk
Web Site: http://mindthegap2014.dai-labor.de/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Computational Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 17-Jan-2014 

Meeting Description:

Our research communities are remarkably scattered. For an outsider it must seem obvious that information science (IS), information retrieval (IR), human-computer interaction (HCI) and natural language processing (NLP) go hand in hand. However, there is surprisingly little overlap between these communities. This workshop intends to bring together researchers from different streams and communities that deal with information access in the widest sense. The general goal is to foster collaboration between the different communities and to showcase research that sits at the border between different areas of research. The workshop will be a mix of keynotes, submitted research papers/posters/demos and a panel discussion. The workshop will be very interactive throughout the day.

The workshop will be held in conjunction with iConference’14.

Confirmed Keynote:

We are pleased to confirm that Professor Nicholas Belkin (Rutgers University) will be one of our keynote speakers.

Second Call for Papers:

Deadline extended until 17 January.

Beyond Single-Shot Text Queries: Bridging the Gap(s) Between Research Communities (MindTheGap'14)
Workshop held in conjunction with iConference'14 in Berlin, Germany.
4 March 2014

http://mindthegap2014.dai-labor.de

Topics of Interest:

We invite the submission of position papers as well as novel research papers and posters/demos addressing problems at the interface of IS, IR, HCI and NLP. Topics include but are not limited to:

- Interactive IR
- Adaptive IR
- Recommender Systems
- Knowledge description and representation
- Linked Data
- Novel methods to access to digital libraries
- User studies
- User/group profiling
- Lifelogging
- Multimedia Information Access

In particular we are looking for:

- Academic contributions that challenge the paradigm of information access as being a single-shot search request submitted to a Web search engine.
- Industry contributions that represent case studies or position papers.
- Demonstrations from both academia and industry.

Confirmed Keynotes:

We are pleased to confirm that Professor Nicholas Belkin (Rutgers University) will be one of our keynote speakers. The second keynote will be given by Miguel Martinez-Alvarez, Head of Research at Signal (United Kingdom) who will talk on Profile-based Information Filtering for Chief Executives.

Submission Details:

All papers should be 2-5 pages long (in PDF format) following the ACM proceedings format and must be submitted electronically by 17 January 2014 through the EasyChair submission page:

https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mindthegap14

The submissions will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee. There will be a best paper award, as chosen by the program committee. This will be announced at the workshop.
