System And User Centered Evaluation Approaches in Interactive Information Retrieval (SAUCE 2016).

The purpose of this half-day workshop is to bring together academic and industry interactive information retrieval (IIR) researchers with an interest in evaluation methodologies. The workshop articulates contemporary challenges in the investigation of IIR and invites user- and system-oriented researchers to work collaboratively to address these challenges by combining user- and system-centered methodologies in meaningful ways. We anticipate that this workshop will initiate productive knowledge exchange and partnerships that can respond to the increasing user, task, system, and contextual complexity of the IIR field.
