Abstract: The AudioCHI 2022 workshop focusses on human engagement with spoken material in search settings, including live stream audio and collections. Spoken material comes in many forms, including for example: factual or entertaining (or both!), timely or of historical interest, local or global, single speaker or conversations. Users engage with spoken material for a variety of reasons, including entertainment, current affairs, education, and research. While there has been considerable previous work studying spoken document retrieval or more generally spoken content retrieval, AudioCHI 2022 is the first meeting to explore user engagement with audio content, including discussing: (i) how content analysis might establish verbal and non-verbal features for rich content representations, and (ii) and use cases and human factors in interaction with spoken audio content, and their interaction with more established topics relating to spoken content retrieval. The workshop brings together researchers in spoken content retrieval with expertise on human computer interaction in information access to examine opportunities and challenges for advancing technologies for search and interaction with spoken content.
