This #WorldRefugeeDay we would like to invite you to read 'World of #Walls: The Structure, Roles and Effectiveness of Separation #Barriers' by Said Saddiki, an important reading for anyone interested in #immigration, border security, #IR & #policy

🔗 https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0121

We'd also like to invite you to access '#Undocumented #Migrants and #Healthcare: Eight Stories from #Switzerland' which explores the ways migrants try to obtain healthcare on their own, with the help of #NGOs or #insurance, and how they cope if they fail.

Are you really ready for a cyberattack response? Incident response experts share 7 secrets for creating a professional-grade ransomware response playbook. https://www.darkreading.com/attacks-breaches/7-things-ransomware-response-playbooks-missing #IR #cyberattacks

One can't judge a click model only by how well it ranks documents, we also need to make sure it actively identified and removed biases hidden in the logged data.

That's what we showed in our recent #SIGIR23 paper with Philipp Hager, Jean-Michel Renders and Maarten de Rijke.

Short version of an incredibly important article about defense industry funding of security think tanks by Kjølv Egeland & Benoît Pelopidas of Sciences Po.

"Nuclear weapons stakeholders threaten independent analysis.

All 45 institutions in our sample acknowledged funding from contractors and governments espousing nuclear deterrence."

Key finding:

"All 45 institutions in our sample — the world’s top-ranked think tanks in the fields of foreign affairs and national security — acknowledged funding from nuclear arms contractors, governments that explicitly base their #security strategies on nuclear #deterrence, or both. Funding from actors eager to disrupt the status quo & advance #nuclear abolition is minuscule by comparison. This striking feature is frequently glossed over or ignored in surveys of the field."

let me share 2 screenshots of an #LLMs -based #search and #Q&A experience. It's from kagi.com. It's B2C but I can imagine this represents some middle-ground for #IR & #KM in #B2B contexts. It's using summarization and Q&A on document level (also on SERP level but it didn't work for me this time) hence it can be better grounded, I think. You could even control/enhance the output with a local #knowledgegraph

Happy Easter everyone!

I think we'll see a lot of #km and #IR applications implementing this conversational GUI over documents (and data) https://doclime.com. Did search as we know it vanished for good?

If you're going to #CHIIR2023 this year, don't miss Christine's talk on Wed! She'll be presenting our paper w/ Amifa & @alex on the use of #gender in #IR & #recsys research, with both a survey of current use and research-based recommendations for responsibly using (or not) gender in future research and practice. I'll also be there, looking forward to catching up! https://md.ekstrandom.net/pubs/chiir-gender

Having just been diagnosed w/ bresbyopia, an intro to the research I destroyed my eyes w/ over the past few years:

In my European Journal of #IR article, I argue for viewing sovereignty as dynamic, whereby associated conditions, like recognition, fluctuate, and for studying historical contexts to understand how recognition is earned or lost and challenge sovereignty as a static system of inclusion/exclusion.

It's open access ⤵️

Hi Mastodon! I'm a #historian at City, University of London working in the intersection of #history, #sociology, and #IR. My first book is on the Caribbean in the age of revolutions. Currently I'm working on protests and policing in #HongKong and on #InternationalOrder in the nineteenth century #AsiaPacific.

Looking forward to engaging with folks on this platform.

@BettinaForget The outer planets do emit light... #Jupiter has been seen in radio, infrared, and even X-ray lights. However, it seems that these emissions are the results of the magnetosphere, leftover heat from formation, and particle interactions. Whether these would be present on a lonely rogue #planet, I'm not sure.
