Abstract

There is a mutually beneficial relationship between user interfaces and common sense reasoning and acquisition. Common sense knowledge enables interfaces to better understand and to be more grounded in the world of the user, thus improving the user's overall experience with the interface. This would not be possible without large sources of common sense knowledge, which likewise benefit from intelligent interfaces designed to make the knowledge acquisition processes more productive and enjoyable for the contributor. These two complementary interface types and their interaction are explored in this workshop.
