I found the IUI conference to be very exciting and relevant for my research. Since the aim of my research is to tightly integrate text analysis techniques with intelligent visual interfaces, attending the IUI conference provided an excellent opportunity for me to learn the recent advances in these areas and to connect with other researchers having similar interests. More importantly, by presenting my long paper and doctoral consortium paper, I was able to get lot of constructive feedback for my research. Finally, I really liked the keynote speeches: they were very exciting, relevant and thought provoking.
