The 2009 ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries (JCDL 2009) will be held in Austin, TX June 15-19. The program includes tutorials, workshops, and three days of paper presentations. The schedule is just being made available online, and I found some interesting papers worth watching for when they appear in the ACM DL or on the authors’ pages. Here are some of the papers I am looking forward to when I go to the conference:
- Generalized Formal Models for Faceted User Interfaces (Clarkson, Navathe, Foley)
I wonder if this is related to the “Exploring Websites through Contextual Facets” paper I blogged about earlier. - How Do You Feel about Dancing Queen ? Deriving Mood & Theme Annotations from User Tags (Bischoff, Firan, Nejdl, Paiu)
How could you not? - No Bull, No Spin: a comparison of tags with other forms of user metadata (Marshall)
Cathy Marshall is always entertaining and has an almost magical ability to generate unexpected insights from mundane data. - What Do Exploratory Searchers Look at in a Faceted Search Interface? (Kules, Capra, Banta, Sierra)
Will this topic be enough to bring Daniel Tunkelang to Austin?
Nice to see music IR papers springing up everywhere:-)
Gene, believe me, I’d love to be there for JCDL, and I’ve heard great things about Austin as a city. But there’s no way I can attend another conference in the next few months–let alone one that’s not in the Northeast corridor!
