Yet, optimizing for<br /> a large number of users, they usually provide good answers only to &quot;most<br /> of us&quot;, and have yet to provide satisfying mechanisms to search for<br /> audiovisual content.<br /> <br /> In this talk I will present some ongoing work at L3S addressing these<br /> challenges, done in the context of several European Union funded<br /> projects on personal information management and web search. Regarding<br /> personalization, I will talk about personalizing Web Search based on<br /> user content on the desktop, which goes beyond simple user profiles used<br /> in other systems. Regarding search for audiovisual content, I will focus<br /> on exploiting user generated information, and discuss what kinds of tags<br /> are used for different resources like audio and pictures, and how they<br /> can help for search.</div>
