Exploratory search and interactive data analytics

In recent years there has been a growing interest in developing new methods and systems that allow users to interactively explore large volumes of data, such as document collections, multimedia collections or biomedical datasets. There are various approaches to support users in this interactive environment ranging from the development of new algorithms through visualisation methods to specialised interfaces. The overarching goal of this workshop is to bring together a group of researchers spanning across multiple facets of exploratory search and data analytics to discuss, and outline research challenges for this novel area.
