The opening plenary session, to be followed by the conference reception, will be held at the California Ballroom of The Westin Bonaventure Hotel at 18:00, Tuesday 4 August.
Susan Dumais, Distinguished Scientist and Deputy Managing Director Microsoft Research Lab will talk about “Personalized Search: Potential and Pitfalls". In her talk she will “outline a framework to quantify the "potential for personalization” which we use to characterize the extent to which different people have different intents for a query. She will “describe several examples of how we represent and use different kinds of contextual features to improve search quality for individuals.” She will be “highlighting important challenges in developing personalized systems at Web scale including control and transparency, serendipity, and evaluation”.

Introducing Tobii Pro
Tobii Pro helps business and science professionals gain valuable insights into human behavior. Our high-quality eye tracking solutions capture human behavior in a natural way, ultimately affording users access to valuable, objective data about real responses to stimuli.
Eye tracking has long been used to analyze user behavior and user interface usability in a wide range of human-computer interaction (HCI) research and practices and as an actual control medium in a human–computer dialogue.
Our remote eye trackers for onscreen research allow unobtrusive and efficient usability testing of websites, software and computer games. They capture user eye movements, sounds, videos, scrolling web pages and transitions, mouse clicks and keystrokes, as well as external stimuli and triggers.
