SIGIR 2015 Workshop on Temporal, Social and Spatially-aware Information Access

Spatial and temporal context are tightly coupled. Understanding the spatial and temporal context of a user is often necessary to understand their information need. Users provide an unprecedented volume of detailed, and continuously updated information about where they are, what they are doing, who they are with, and what they are thinking or feeling about their current activities. Information access applications are expected to provide results that are contextually relevant, yet the user expectation far exceeds the ability of the technology to satisfy him. In this workshop we focus on event detection and recommendation in dynamic geotagged collections.
