Goodbye! Glasgow IR Group heading back to Glasgow after a fantastic #ecir2023!
Thanks to Cathal, Udo and the rest of the organisation team for a fantastic #ecir2023!
See you next year in Glasgow for #ecir2024 🎉

Thanks to our hosts at #ECIR2023 for the legendary Irish hospitality!
We hope to match their generosity in the vibrant city of Glasgow next year at #ECIR2024 !

As we say goodbye to #ECIR2023, we are thrilled to announce that the next European Conference on Information Retrieval #ECIR2024 will be held in Glasgow, Scotland!

We can't wait to welcome everyone to share their latest research, discuss emerging trends and explore new ideas.

I have a vacancy for a PhD student on transparency and explainability of conversational agents (very relevant in the current age of generative #LLMs!)

The position at LIACS, Leiden University is fully funded and part of the LESSEN project.

@suzan more #ECIR2023, please 🙂

@arjen Give us more #ECIR2023!

Really enjoying #ecir2023!
For #ecir2024, we'll introduce a new event, the Collab-a-thon that will enable teams to discuss new ideas & even build a prototype of their new research idea, tool or resource!

Thoughts and suggestions are welcome c.f.
@macavaney

My (personal subjective) impressions from the first session of #ECIR2023 include:
+ keyword suggestion for scientific documents using connected components for sampling negatives (yet to be read in detail)
+ work from L3S on probing neural ranking models (where intermediate layers seem most useful, would less deep models work well?)
+ query performance prediction still impossible, and
+ mixed results on measuring viewpoint diversity in search engine results.

Food for thought!

Mounia Lalmas' #ECIR2023 keynote argues that discovery, diversity, dynamics and long term satisfaction all interact in recsys (for music at Spotify).

We also learned that you cannot predict Italian user prefs in music from Spanish ones.

Today at #ECIR2023 :

+ one person walking up to me, saying "I know you from idf.social" 🙂
+ one person saying they miss me on Twitter.

Many cool talks. Tonight welcome reception in a Whiskey brewery!

In the #BIR2023 workshop, Jakob Zavrel is showing the future of academic search with LLMs in ZetaAlpha, with among many other things the current cool work on multi-document summarization by LIACS master student Pavlos Zakkas.
