SIGIR ’09 is in full swing! I arrived on Sunday evening, and the reception was like Cheers (“where everyone knows your name“)–only that, at least in my case, I was meeting many people face-to-face for the first time in years, and in some cases for the first time, period! I reconnected with some of the SIGIR regulars whom I’d missed last year (Singapore was a bit far for me), finally met my editor,
SIGIR is the major international forum for the presentation of new research results and the demonstration of new systems and techniques in the broad field of information retrieval. Yahoo! has 7 papers accepted at this year's conference including the Best Paper Award for "Sources of Evidence for Vertical Selection" by Jaime Arguello (Carnegie Mellon University and Yahoo! intern), Fernando Diaz (Yah
Tetsuya Sakai's blog on information retrieval research 酒井哲也の情報検索研究ブログ Attended the IRJ editorial board lunch meeting. Presented a poster at the reception in the evening. Sue Dumais is the second MSR researcher to receive the Salton Award. (The first is Steve Robertson.) She's saying that, while documents have kept growing in size and diversity, the query input interface has not changed. Basically
This is a place devoted to giving you deeper insight into the news, trends, people and technology behind Bing. Part of what makes working at Microsoft fun is the abundance of “smartypants” people that I get to work with. The downside is that Bing gets a workout as I casually use my PC to look up words as I talk to them. This week at SIGIR (Special Interest Group for Information Retrieval – now yo

SIGIR: Meet the Who’s Who of Search and Information Retrieval Matt Cutts. danah boyd. Bruce Croft. Marti Hearst. What do these people have in common? If you’re thinking that they are some of the biggest names in the research and practice of search and information retrieval, then you have at least part of the answer. For full credit, the answer is that they are some of the people who will be presen
Tetsuya Sakai's blog on information retrieval research 酒井哲也の情報検索研究ブログ I've joined the committee for selecting the best (student) paper for SIGIR 2009. We have eleven candidate papers. I did this last year too. The full paper acceptance rate for this year is 16%, the toughest ever. Even though the target acceptance rate these days is 20%, reviewers expect a lot from a SIGIR submission.
Thanks to Jeff Dalton for alerting me to SIGIR 2009 announcing the lists of accepted papers and posters. As Jon Elsas points out, the authorship looks quite different this year than from previous years, with industry showing an especially strong presence: 38% of the papers have at least one author from Microsoft (21 papers), Yahoo! (7 papers), or Google (3 papers) No papers from current UMass rese
Tetsuya Sakai's blog on information retrieval research 酒井哲也の情報検索研究ブログ I submitted two posters to SIGIR 2009. One of them got rejected, but the other one got in: Title: Serendipitous Search via Wikipedia: A Query Log Analysis Authors: Tetsuya Sakai, Kenichi Nogami Both were about KotobaNoUchu. The SIGIR poster is becoming more and more competitive. Last year, the acceptance rate was 91/173=53%; Thi
SIGIR 2009 Workshop on The Future of IR Evaluation 23 July 2009 INTRODUCTION Evaluation is at the core of information retrieval: virtually all progress owes directly or indirectly to test collections built within the so-called Cranfield paradigm. However, in recent years, IR researchers are routinely pursuing tasks outside the traditional paradigm, by taking a broader view on tasks, users, and con
朝は眠い。SIGIRとかWWWとかCIKMとかの論文を読んでいるのだが、自然言語処理とちょっと勝手が違う。企業の人の研究が多いせいかもしれないけど。 しかし SIGIR や WWW のポスターだと2ページしか書けないようなのだが、2ページで自分の研究伝えるのは至難の技だなあ。探せば同じ研究の8-10ページ版も必ずあったりして、長いバージョン読んでから2ページを読むと分かるのだが、逆をするとあまり意味が分からない。むしろ8ページ版のアブストラクトを読んだ方がよかったり。2ページの論文と8ページの論文のアライメントを取って noisy channel モデルで生成されていると考えると、そんなもんかという気もするが(汗) 昼は今日もカレー。ナン食べ放題だった。最近松本研では毎週カレーなので、カレー4種食べられて満足。 午後はミーティングなど。社内のさまざまな取り組みなど見せてもらったりする(知ら
