Workshop on Human-In-the-Loop Data Analytics
Co-located with SIGMOD 2018 (10 June 2018, Houston, TX, USA)



Past workshops: HILDA 2017 | HILDA 2016

Introduction

Any data management system needs to work together with people, whose needs determine the goals for the system, and who must provide the input and who need to work effectively with the output. Data management systems will work much better when they take account of the cognitive and physiological characteristics of the people involved. Recent technology trends (such as touch screens, motion detection, and voice recognition) are widening the possibilities for users to interact with systems, and many information-provision industries are shifting to personalized processing to better target their services to the users’ wishes. HILDA is a workshop that will allow researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and results relating to how data management can be done with awareness of the people who form part of the processes. A sample of topics that is are in the spirit of this workshop includes, but is not limited to: novel query interfaces, interactive query refinement, data exploration and analysis, data visualization, human-assisted data integration and cleaning, perception-aware data processing, database systems designed for highly interactive use cases, empirical studies of database use, and crowd-powered data infrastructure.

HILDA intends to be a forum where people from varied communities engage with one another's ideas. We are keen to have submissions that present initial ideas and visions, just as much as reports on early results, or reflections on completed projects. The workshop will focus on discussion and interaction, rather than static presentations of what is in the paper.

Submission

Authors are invited to submit either of the following: (1) original, unpublished research papers that are not being considered for publication in any other forum. These will be published in the HILDA proceedings, or (2) abstracts of previous work presented in other venues ideally outside the database community.

Abstracts will be considered for discussion at the workshop only and not be included in the HILDA proceedings. Submissions of abstracts must be marked in the title as (Abstract). Research papers must follow the latest ACM Proceedings format (2017). Research papers submitted can be between four and six pages in length, excluding references. Abstracts should be maximally one page long.

Submissions will be handled through EasyChair.

Keynote Speakers

  • Jock D. Mackinlay, VP Research & Design, Tableau Software: Everyone Needs to Work with Data


Panelists (Pending)

We are excited to host a panel of visualization and database researchers to discuss directions where the two communities can collaborate: visualization and HCI research that can help solve hard database problems, and database research that can benefit hard visualization systems problems.
