The IJCAI 2009 Workshop on Intelligence and Interaction

The workshop's primary goals were to foster further exploration of the intersection of AI and HCI, to stimulate conversation so that participants continue conversations and begin new collaborations outside of the workshop, and to further develop a community of researchers addressing the challenges of working in this space.

Keynote Speakers

Daniel S. Weld: "Learning to Read: From Wikipedia to the Web"

Daniel S. Weld is the Thomas J. Cable / WRF Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. He earned a Ph.D. from the MIT Artificial Intelligence Lab in 1988, received a Presidential Young Investigator's award in 1989, an Office of Naval Research Young Investigator's award in 1990, was named AAAI Fellow in 1999, and deemed ACM Fellow in 2005.
