Well, it finally happened. I published a paper on my PhD thesis work. It got accepted at HICSS-42 in the Digital Media: Content and Communication track under the Information Access and Retrieval: The Web, Users, and HCI mini-track. The abstract is below.

Task Effects on Interactive Search: The Query Factor
I recently published a paper with Dr. Toms' CMI lab about our search research that we did for INEX 2007. It is entitled "Task Effects on Interactive Search: The Query Factor" Site. Coincidently, it is in the proceedings for INEX 2007. Essentially is it about the experimental Wikipedia search system that we have been developing over the past year and looking at how users behave while they search when doing different tasks. Not surprisingly, user behavior differs depending on the task.
