Companion Proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces

Abstract

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the 2015 ACM International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces -- ACM IUI 2015 in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Starting in 1993, ACM IUI is now in its 20th edition and serves as a premier international forum for reporting outstanding research and development on intelligent user interfaces. ACM IUI is where the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community meets the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community. We are also very interested in contributions from related fields, such as psychology, behavioral science, cognitive science, computer graphics, design, the arts, etc. At ACM IUI, we focus on the interaction between machine intelligence and human intelligence. While other conferences focus on one side or the other, we address the complex interaction between the two. We welcome research that explores how to make the interaction between computers and people smarter, which may leverage solutions from data mining, knowledge representation, novel interaction paradigms, and emerging technologies. For the 20th edition of the conference, the call for papers attracted a record number of 205 long and short paper submissions, 41 poster paper submissions, 18 demo paper submissions, and 24 student consortium submissions. The final program of the conference includes 3 keynotes, 47 long and short papers (22.9% acceptance rate), 17 posters, 8 demos, 4 workshops, 3 tutorials, and 12 student consortium papers. The program opens with a keynote by Professor Dan Weld on "Intelligent Control of Crowdsourcing", continues with a keynote by Ed Chi on "Blurring of the Boundary Between Interactive Search and Recommendation" on the second day, and ends with a keynote by Rosalind Picard on "Recognizing Stress, Engagement, and Positive Emotion". Four workshops (Personalized Access to Cultural Heritage, Intelligent Digital Games for Empowerment and Inclusion, Interacting with Smart Objects, and Visual Text Analytics) and three tutorials (Speech-based Interaction, Personalization for Behavior Change, and User Affect and Sentiment Modeling) complement the main conference program.
