The 17th International Workshop on Technologies for Information Retrieval - TIR 2020
http://www.dexa.org/tir2020 and http://tir.webis.de
*** IMPORTANT DATES ***
Paper submission: March 16, 2020
Notification of acceptance: May 20, 2020
Camera-ready copies due: June 19, 2020
*** PUBLICATION ***
All accepted papers will be published by Springer in "Communications in Computer and Information Science".
*** SCOPE ***
The development of advanced retrieval solutions requires the understanding and the combination of methods from different research areas, including machine learning, (big) data mining, natural language processing, artificial intelligence, user interaction and modelling, and Web engineering. In addition, societal challenges such as information quality, bias, or the trustworthiness of the stated facts and arguments have come into focus.
*** TOPICS OF INTEREST ***
In this regard the TIR workshop provides a platform for presenting and discussing new solutions, novel ideas, or specific tools for future retrieval and text understanding systems. The following list organises classic and recent topics for which contributions are welcome, but not limited to:
- Theory. Retrieval models, similarity measures, formal analysis
- Evaluation. Corpus construction, experiment design, performance measures, reproducibility, benchmarking of Information Retrieval and Machine Learning algorithms
- Information Quality and Provenance. Text quality assessment, text reuse, trust and author reputation, provenance analytics
- Natural Language Technologies for IR Applications. Opinion mining, text summarisation and simplification, question answering, discourse and argument mining
- Personalisation. Personalised retrieval, context detection, user profiling, user modelling
- Web Search. Ranking and recommendation, query classification and segmentation, vertical search, dynamic taxonomy generation
- Social Media Analytics. People analytics, social network analysis, trend analysis
- Semantic Web. Meta data analysis and tagging, knowledge extraction, inference and linking
- Machine Learning. Representation learning for text mining
- Explanations. Explainable IR models, result explanations, evaluation of
explanations
*** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ***
Authors are invited to submit electronically original contributions in English. Submitted papers should not exceed 10 pages (for a full paper) and 5 pages (for a short paper).
