CHIIR 2022 Workshop on Building towards Information Interaction and
Retrieval Resource Reuse

March 14 2022, 9:00-12:00 CET and 16:00-19:00 CET

This workshop is part of the ACM Conference on Human Information
Interaction and Retrieval (CHIIR) 2022, taking place 14-18 March 2022
online.

*************************************************************************

************************** Scope **************************

The aim of the BIIRRR workshop series is to provide a forum where
researchers from the full spectrum of CHIIR interests can come together to
develop ideas on improving resource reuse.

BIIRRR 2022 is the third edition in the series and focuses on developing
recommendations for documenting and archiving the wide range of II&R
research resources, and to ensure that the documentation standards are
relevant and applicable to both the specifics and breadth of the CHIIR
community. The openness of the II&R community must not be restricted and
extensive discussions are needed on how to balance standardisation, space
for innovation and for aspects that can only be documented to a limited
extent.

Towards this end, the workshop has two main goals:

   -

   Collect practical experiences with documentation and reuse. Each
   workshop session has a keynote and two presentations of experience papers
   providing examples of practical barriers, challenges, and approaches to
   documenting and reusing complex study setups. These will be used as input
   for a plenary discussion about the possibilities and challenges for the
   reuse of their research designs, data and infrastructure.
   -

   Develop recommendations for research design documentation. Research
   designs are the first step in documenting research resources. The second
   goal of the 2022 edition of the BIIRRR workshop is to start discussing and
   developing recommendations for research design documentation. Our explicit
   aim is to develop an open proposal that can be used across the full range
   of study types in the II&R community and that is open to further
   development.



************************** Workshop Programme **************************

The workshop will be highly interactive, with a few short keynote and paper
presentations and lots of plenary discussion. Given that participants will
be in different time zones across the world, the workshop will be held
twice at two different three-hour slots, 9:00-1200 CET and 16:00-19:00 CET.
The two sessions will both follow the same structure:


   -

   Introduction
   -

   Keynote
   -

   Break
   -

   Experience Papers
   -

   Break
   -

   Panel discussion
   -

   Closing


Timing of the sessions:

The first session will be timed to be in the evening for Asia and Oceania
and in the morning for Europe and Africa. The second session will be timed
to be in the evening for Europe and Africa and morning for North and South
America.

Keynote speakers:

We are happy to announce that we have two keynotes for the two sessions:


   -

   Keynote session 1: Daniel Hienert (GESIS): Information gathering,
   holding, and re-use in the Social Sciences - Lessons for IIR?

This talk aims to present the gathering, holding, and re-use of information
in the social sciences. The directly following question is if we can use
and adopt some of these patterns, lessons, or insights for data management
and re-use in the field of interactive information retrieval.


   -

   Keynote session 2: Georg Buscher (Microsoft Research) Running IR
   Experiments with Real Users - Common Practices and Challenges.

Georg will give a short overview for how A/B experiments with real users
are typically evaluated in the industry in the domain of IR/search. He will
particularly emphasize what kinds of metrics and processes are shared
across experiments to yield comparable outcomes, and what common challenges
arise.

Experience papers:


   -

   Reusing the Model and Components of an IIR Study for Perceived Effects
   of OCR Quality Change. Kimmo Kettunen (University of Eastern Finland),
   Heikki Keskustalo (Tampere University), Birger Larsen (Aalborg University),
   Tuula Pääkkönen (National Library of Finland) and Juha Rautiainen (National
   Library of Finland)
   -

   Interactive Social Book Search Data as Reusable Resource. Mark M. Hall
   (The Open University), Marijn Koolen (Huygens Institute, KNAW Humanities
   Cluster)


The workshop will conclude with a plenary discussion aimed at developing an
open proposal for documenting research designs that can be used across the
full range of study types in the II&R community and that is open to further
development.
