Matt, you might want check out the Workshop on Human-Computer Information Retrieval that I'm organizing with your MSR colleague Ryen White: http://research.microsoft.com/~ryenw/hcir2008/
Great place to meet researchers in the fields you enumerated, and you even have a few days to submit an abstract yourself!
