Fourth Workshop on Exploratory Search and Interactive Data Analytics

Abstract

This is the fourth edition of the Workshop on Exploratory Search and Interactive Data Analytics (ESIDA). This series of workshops emerged as a response to the growing interest in developing new methods and systems that allow users to interactively explore large volumes of data, such as documents, multimedia, or specialized collections, such as biomedical datasets. There are various approaches to supporting users in this interactive environment, ranging from developing new algorithms through visualization methods to analyzing users’ search patterns. The overarching goal of ESIDA is to bring together researchers working in areas that span across multiple facets of exploratory search and data analytics to discuss and outline research challenges for this novel area.
