Made to Measure: A Workshop on Human-Centred metrics for information seeking

Measurement is a core tool for improving information interaction. What is measured and how it is measured influences how we perceive the efficacy of retrieval and other interactions. While some measures have become ubiquitous, such as precision and recall, there are many other facets of information interaction we either immature, weakly accepted or only used occasionally. This workshop seeks to develop our metrics for information interaction and retrieval, finding novel measures, or innovative adaptations of existing measures, to create a better experimental toolset to improve our understanding of information interaction, and help develop more effective systems and interactions that support it.
