Abstract: We collected human--computer interaction data (keystrokes, active applications, typed text, etc.) from knowledge workers in the context of writing reports and preparing presentations. This has resulted in an interesting dataset that can be used for different types of information retrieval and information seeking research. The details of the dataset are presented in this paper.
