Welcome and Introduction to CMI and the Board  

Title of the talk is "Will AI solve the problems of consistently poor enterprise search satisfaction?" Abstract : Surveys carried out over the last two decades have indicated that in only 1 out of 5 organisations are employees satisfied with their enterprise search experience. In this presentation the causes for this lack of satisfaction will be explored., focusing on technology, content quality and training issues. Martin will conclude with a consideration of the potential role of AI in improving search satisfaction and the importance of training IT specialists in the challenges of implementing enterprise search applications.

Title of the talk is "Searching fast and slow". Abstract: Knowledge workers such as healthcare information professionals, legal researchers, and librarians need to create and execute search strategies that are comprehensive, transparent, and reproducible. The traditional solution is to use command-line query builders offered by proprietary database vendors. However, these are based on a procedural paradigm that dates from the days when users could access databases only via text-based terminals and command-line syntax. In this talk, we explore and review alternative approaches based on a declarative paradigm in which users express concepts as objects on a visual canvas and manipulate them to articulate relationships. This offers a more intuitive user experience (UX) that eliminates many sources of error, makes the query semantics more transparent, and offers new ways to collaborate, share, and optimize search strategies and best practices.
