Report on the 1st Workshop on Human-in-the-Loop Data Curation (HIL-DC 2022) at CIKM 2022

We report on the First Workshop on Human-in-the-loop Data Curation (HIL-DC), which was co-located with the ACM International Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM) 2022. Data curation, which may include annotation, cleaning, transformation, integration, etc., is a critical step to provide adequate assurances on the quality of analytics and machine learning results. Current approaches include manual, automated, and hybrid human-machine methods to data curation. However, this topic remains relatively unstudied, so our main aim for organizing this workshop was to bring together a group of people from both industry and academia with an interest in the topic, in order to arrive at a shared roadmap for the future. Through a program that included two keynotes, seven peer-reviewed papers, and six lightening talks, we have made initial steps towards a common understanding and shared research agenda for this timely and important topic.
