Watching the **Ranjitha Kumar** keynote w/ @djoerd. Her PhD thesis "Zeitgeist" on Web mining design information led to founding startup Apropos that provided a product to A/B test design effectiveness.

She now leads a research group at UIUC exploring "interaction mining", notable for the well-known dataset interactionmining.org/rico with applications in testing designs but also task automation and UI Generation ("autocomplete Web design with transformers"!)

None of the authors in virtual short paper session 8 are online to answer questions(!) What's the point of these sessions at #SIGIR2023? 😠

A paper describing the JOKER Corpus, a parallel corpus for multilingual wordplay recognition, has been published in the proceedings of #SIGIR2023: https://www.ofai.at/news/2023-07-24sigir The paper is co-authored by OFAI's @Logological.

Now: Harrie Oosterhuis' TOIS paper presentation: Doubly Robust Estimation for online Learning-to-Rank #SIGIR2023

#SIGIR2023 recordings of sessions and keynotes will be available... next week. 🤦‍♀️

#Tahaqqaq search by Zein Sheikhali, doing a live demo. That"s what we like in a #SIGIR2023 demo session!
