Karen was a Professor Emeritus of Computers and Information at the University of Cambridge and one of the most remarkable women in computer science. Her contributions to the fields of Information Retrieval (IR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), especially with regard to experimentation, have been outstanding and highly influential. Karen’s achievements resulted in her receiving a number of prestigious accolades such as the BCS Lovelace medal, for her advancement in Information Systems, and the ACM Salton Award for her significant, sustained and continuing contributions to research in information retrieval.

The 2012 and 2013 tracks focus on one situation: a user with a mobile device with limited interaction but some sort of user profile; who is in a strange town; and who is looking for something to do. There is no explicit query: the implicit query is “here I am, what should I do?”. As input to the task, participants will be given a set of profiles, a set of geographical contexts, and a set of example suggestions. Each profile corresponds to a single user, and indicates that user’s preference with respect to each example suggestion. Each context corresponds to a particular city, for example, Gaithersburg, Maryland.

These meaningful, semantic, annotations hold the promise to significantly enhance information access, by increasing the depth of analysis of today's systems. Currently, we have only started exploring the possibilities and only begin to understand how these valuable semantic cues can be put to fruitful use. To complicate matters, standard text search excels at shallow information needs expressed by short keyword queries, and here semantic annotation contributes very little, if anything.
