The fundamental nature of how people engage with online information is changing with the move from desktop to mobile, from web pages to social, and from text to video. How should all of this affect search user interfaces and research into these topics? I'll discuss these questions as well as argue for researchers to consider some less popular, "orphan" search problems.

Query understanding is a challenging but beneficial task. In this paper, we propose a context-aware method to use the encyclopedic knowledge to aid in query understanding. Given a query, we first use a dictionary constructed from the encyclopedic knowledge bases to detect the possible entities and their associated categories. Then, we use a topic based ethod to derive semantic information from the query. By comparing the topical similarity between various candidate phrases, we get the most likely entities and their related categories. Experimental results show that our method has achieved a great improvement over previous approaches and the efficiency is acceptable for online search.

The main focus of IR interface research and development has been on graphical user interfaces. However, a range of user needs are emerging that will drive us to focus increasingly on the challenge of building search engines where both queries and search results are spoken. Now is the time to examine this topic as speech recognition error rates are steadily dropping and are crossing thresholds where text can be reliably recognised. In this talk, I will outline some of the user groups that might need such systems, explain how existing systems, such as SIRI, Google Now, or Cortana, are incomplete solutions, and speculate on how such systems might evolve.
红外界面研究和开发的主要焦点一直是图形用户界面。然而，一系列用户需求正在出现，这将促使我们越来越多地关注构建搜索引擎的挑战，在搜索引擎中，查询和搜索结果都是口头表达的。现在是时候研究这个话题了，因为语音识别错误率正在稳步下降，并且正在越过可以可靠识别文本的阈值。在这次演讲中，我将概述一些可能需要这样的系统的用户组，解释现有的系统，如SIRI, Google Now或Cortana，是如何不完整的解决方案，并推测这样的系统将如何发展。

The publication date is one day earlier then the EST date to provide the proceedings to attendees in Australian on the first day of the conference It is our great pleasure to welcome everyone to the 2015 ACM Workshop on Novel Web Search Interfaces and Systems (NWSearch'15) in Melbourne, Australia. The workshop started out of the need for a venue to discuss the latest research and development in the area of novel Web search interfaces. Given the diversity of the topics involved and the fact that the topic of the workshop overlaps with the areas of information retrieval, user interfaces, Web search and maybe databases, our goal has been to gather researchers and practitioners in those diverse fields to tackle and discuss the problems of common interest as they relate to the topic of this workshop. The call for papers attracted 6 submissions from Australia, China, Czech Republic, Greece, and United States. Each submission was reviewed by at least three members of the program committee. Based on those reviews, four submissions were selected to be included in the program. We are also pleased to have two insightful keynotes by leading researchers in our field. These talks set the tone and directions for possible future work in the area.

In this paper, we present a summary of our work on RDF keyword search. Given a set of keywords, our method automatically generates a set of candidate SPARQL queries, and their natural language description, to be evaluated on the RDF data graph. We discuss our approach, highlighting current and future directions.

We propose research to investigate a new paradigm for Interactive Information Retrieval (IIR) where all input and output is mediated via speech. Our aim is to develop a new framework for effective and efficient IIR over a speech-only channel: a Spoken Conversational Search System (SCSS). This SCSS will provide an interactive conversational approach to determine user information needs, presenting results and enabling search reformulations. We have thus far investigated the format of results summaries for both audio and text, features such as summary length and summaries documents (noisy document or clean document) generated from (noisy) speech-recognition output from spoken document. In this paper we discuss future directions regarding a novel spoken interface targeted at search result presentation, query intent detection, and interaction patterns for audio search.

Specific to Math Information Retrieval is combining text with mathematical formulae both in documents and in queries. Rigorous evaluation of query expansion and merging strategies combining math and standard textual keyword terms in a query are given. It is shown that techniques similar to those known from textual query processing may be applied in math information retrieval as well, and lead to a cutting edge performance. Striping and merging partial results from subqueries is one technique that improves results measured by information retrieval evaluation metrics like Bpref.
