Prof. Hearst's current research interests focus on user interfaces and robust language analysis to build
information access systems, and on furthering our understanding of how people use and understand such systems.
She also plans to begin studying the interdependence of the social and the technical in information systems.
The field of information access concerns helping people find, use, understand, and create the information they need,
often using computer systems as tools. Text analysis and user interface technology should be combined with an
understanding of how users work with information and computer tools when building systems to support information
access.
