Deadlines on Monday & Wednesday next week for ECIR workshops on personal information. Short-paper submissions welcomed.This year's ECIR will host two half day workshops in the Personal Information Space on April 18, 2011: 2nd Information Access for Personal Media Archives Workshop http://www.iapma2011.dcu.ie/ Submission deadline: February 23, 2011 Personal Media Archive Access + Personal Search Evaluation Workshops, http://www.cdvp.dcu.ie/iCLIPS/EPS2011/ Submission deadline: 21 February, 2011
2nd Information Access for Personal Media Archives Workshop ----------------------------------------------------------- Towards e-Memories: challenges of capturing, summarising, presenting, understanding, using, and retrieving relevant information from heterogeneous data contained in personal media archives. Following on from last year's successful workshop - see proceedings at http://doras.dcu.ie/15373/ or June 2010 SIGIR Forum report at http://www.sigir.org/forum/2010J/2010j-sigirforum-gurrin.pdf - we seek to bring together researchers from diverse disciplines to exchange ideas on how we can advance towards the goal of effective capture, retrieval and exploration of e-memories. We are interested in the report of current work including: - Development of new sensing devices and technologies to capture novel data of personal interest - Algorithmic research - User studies on the real-life benefits of efficiently accessing personal media archives - Position papers on the place of personal media archive research within information retrieval - Proposals for research strategies in this area See http://www.iapma2011.dcu.ie/themes.html for more detailed information. Evaluating Personal Search Workshop ----------------------------------- This workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in working towards standardized evaluation approaches for the personal search space. Due to the large space that this covers, as a first step towards overall standardized personal search evaluation this workshop will focus on evaluation for the textual elements within personal desktop collections and known item keyword queries for these elements. An interactive forum for researchers to share ideas and initiate collaborations will be provided, with the explicit goal of establishing a means to evaluate personal search algorithms and solutions in a comparable and repeatable way. It is also intended to form a consortium of people at the workshop interested in bringing this evaluation solution to fruition in the subsequent months.
