Evaluating interactive information retrieval systems: opportunities and challenges

Published:24 April 2004Publication History

ABSTRACT

Information retrieval or search plays an important role in a wide range of information management and electronic commerce tasks. In spite of the importance of information retrieval, search systems are often poorly designed from a human computer interaction perspective. The goal of this SIG is to articulate some of the opportunities and challenges in designing and evaluating highly interactive information retrieval systems.
