There is an increasing level of research interest within the connectionist and machine learning communities on a number of aspects of information retrieval * evidenced by the number of papers appearing in recent NIPS and ICML conferences as well as recently organised post-conference workshops at NIPS on document mining and retrieval. Therefore the following cfp will be of interest to the connectionist and ml mailing lists.
Rgds Mark Girolami ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The 24th BCS-IRSG European Colloquium on Information Retrieval (IR) Research - which was the precursor of the ACM SIGIR conference - is being held in the city of Glasgow, Scotland and submissions reporting recent research work in this area are welcomed. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 24th BCS-IRSG European Colloquium on IR Research March 25-27, 2002, Glasgow, Scotland, UK http://www.cs.strath.ac.uk/ECIR02/ The colloquium on information retrieval research provides an opportunity for both new and established researchers to present papers describing work in progress or final results. These Colloquia were established by the BCS IRSG (British Computer Society Information Retrieval Specialist Group), and named the Annual Colloquium on Information Retrieval Research. Recently, the location of the colloquium has alternated between the United Kingdom and continental Europe. To reflect the growing European orientation of the event, the Colloquium was renamed "European Annual Colloquium on Information Retrieval Research" from 2001. The previous five colloquia have been held in Darmstadt (2001), Cambridge (2000), Glasgow (1999), Grenoble (1998), and Aberdeen (1997). Details The colloquium on information retrieval research provides an opportunity for both new and established researchers to present papers describing work in progress or final results. Relevant papers should address (at the theoretical, methodological, system or application level) the analysis, design or evaluation of functions like: Indexing Information Extraction Data Mining Browsing Retrieval and Filtering User Interaction for the following types of documents and databases: Monomedia documents (e.g. text, images, audio, voice, video) Composite documents Multimedia documents Hypermedia documents Active documents Distributed documents and databases Digital Libraries the Web Organising Committee Dr Fabio Crestani, Department of Computer & Information Sciences, University of Strathclyde, GLASGOW.
