Hope you can join us for genuine discussion of simulated search (or vice-versa).

Great outcome from the "Future Conversations" Future Conversations @ CHIIR'21 workshop at ACM CHIIR 2025 in March. We produced a document with all the attendees to continue the research in conversational search. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/34… #convsearch ACM SIGIR SIGIR Forum #SIGIR2021 #CUI2021 1/4 🧵

Our full paper "Analyzing Mixed Initiatives and Search Strategies during Conversational Search" w/ Leif Azzopardi,Hamed Zamani, @ekanou,Paul Thomas, and Nick Craswell has been accepted at #CIKM2021. Through simulated user-system interactions, we study various conversational strategies 1/4.
