Very pleased to announce that FAccTRec is back for #RecSys2023! More details to come, but for this year's edition in Singapore we especially encourage people doing work on on responsible search and recommendation in Asia-Pacific contexts to submit.

Stoked about our #TikTok and mental health paper for #chi23, with my PhD student Ash Milton! TikTok interacts with people, mental health, and the FYP- it raises awareness but can be a runaway train of harmful content that users feel they can't escape. PDF: z.umn.edu/chi-tiktok

Excited to share that our short paper "Patterns of gender-specializing query reformulation" got accepted SIGIR 2025 . This is the outcome of the work during my internship at Microsoft. #sigir2023. Thank you Bhaskar Mitra | ভাস্কর মিত্র, Nick Craswell, and @mdekstrand for your guidance.

It's true — today was the last PIReT meeting. It's been a great 7 years with many successful students, great research, and good friends. We have more things in the pipeline (and @mdekstrand & Sole Pera certainly aren't done collaborating), but an era is concluding.

My post has the gif 🤭, @mdekstrand the lessons learned. ..and that was at the core of PIReT @ Boise State : the blending of styles for deeper reflections #acabesties md.ekstrandom.net/blog/2023/04/c…

I met amifa raj early on her PhD journey. She was part of PIReT @ Boise State, took my #IR classes, & today I was on her PhD defense committee-I got a front row seat to seeing the transformation into the scientist she is today. Congrats Dr Raj & big remote hug to her advisor @mdekstrand

I am so grateful to @mdekstrand for being so supportive and patient with me. It would never be possible without your guidance.

Thank you so much Dr. Sole Sole Pera. I can't appreciate you enough for everything you have done for me. You have always been source of encouragement for me.

Today I successfully defended my PhD! I am really grateful to have @mdekstrand as my advisor throughout this journey and I want to thank my committee members Sole Pera , Edoardo, and Dr. Kennington for their feedback.

Going to #SIGIR2023? @mdekstrand will be on-site presenting 2 short papers: one on gender-specializing query reformulation by the newly-minted Dr. amifa raj with Bhaskar Mitra | ভাস্কর মিত্র & Nick Craswell, and one on inference led by Ngozi Ihemelandu.
