Abstract
This article is a lightly edited text of the author's Salton Award Keynote: Information Interaction in Context, presented at the 41st SIGIR conference in Ann Arbor, July 9th, 2019. It first gives some personal background and then discusses some important areas of information seeking and IR in the author's research work. These include task-based information behavior and interaction, natural language processing to improve document ranking in mono- and cross-language IR, and IR evaluation metrics. Finally, the article proposes a way to organize research on information interaction.
