The four subthemes are: 1) > information seeking behavior, 2) interaction, 3) context and personalized > search and 4) semantic and social annotations. The topic `Information > Foraging´ reflects the shift of attention in information retrieval research > from static document statistics towards i) on-line systems that are > designed for user interaction and ii) exploiting the collective information > access behavior of communities of users. The course has been designed > for master or PhD students in computer science, information science or > artificial intelligence. > Program: The intensive course consists of two full weeks (10 days) of > lectures. Lectures are usually split across two days, starting in the > afternoon > and continuing the following morning. The school is proud to offer a varied > program of lectures including basic and more advanced courses from 12 > different speakers which are experts in their area. > Pia Borlund, Royal School of Library and Information Science > Task based interactive IR evaluation > Birger Larsen, Royal School of Library and Information Science > Information retrieval systems and models > Ian Ruthven, Strathclyde University > Information Seeking, Interfaces > Jaap Kamps, University of Amsterdam > Evaluation 101: is it any good and why? > Elaine Toms, University of Sheffield > Information Foraging, Evaluation of non goal based applications > Gabriella Pasi, Universita Milano Bicocca > Context and personalization > Leif Azzopardi, University of Glasgow > Simulation, Formal Models and Theory of Interative IR > Mounia Lalmas, Yahoo!
