The Baby Yoda paper is out. Marwah Alaofi tests the limits of LLM relevance assessment to find that all is not well with LLM QRELs. Some language models mistake query word overlap for relevance a little too often. marwahalaofi.com/files/alaofi-2… RMIT School of Computing Technologies @AdmsCentre

Many congratulations to Valeriia Blinova who has (subject to the usual corrections) passed her PhD. Valeriia won best paper awards at CIKM and SIGIR and working with an RMIT School of Computing Technologies undergratuate student she published a full paper at ACL. Incredible work Valeriia!

Great job Sachin PC presenting at the ACM ICMI Official #icmi2024 conference in the amazing Costa Rica 🦜 This collaboration with Ujwal Gadiraju and TU Delft | AI Initiative started with Ujwal’s visit to @AdmsCentre followed by Sachin’s research stay in Delft as part of my Australian Research Council DECRA RMIT School of Computing Technologies

Many congratulations, Dr Valeriia Blinova and supervisors! 👩🏼‍🎓

"Metamorphic Evaluation of ChatGPT as a Recommender System" a cool short paper from an RMIT School of Computing Technologies student, Madhurima Khirbat, showing how superficial changes in prompts can result in substantial change in #gpt #recsys style output @AdmsCentre arxiv.org/abs/2411.12121

We've kicked off the #SIGIRAP2024 Satellite event at RMIT School of Computing Technologies in Melbourne with a great keynote by Peter Bailey from #canva. Moving on to the hybrid talks in Tokyo. In the photos a taste of the talks and Damiano Spina 🦋@damianospina.com acknowledging Country with Indigenous artwork on IR

Next up, Marwah Alaofi on fooling #LLMs W/Paul Thomas Falk Scholer and Mark Sanderson. #sigirap2024 RMIT University RMIT School of Computing Technologies

"Can Users Detect Biases or Factual Errors in Generated Responses in Conversational Information-Seeking?" presented by Weronika Łajewska w/Damiano Spina 🦋@damianospina.com Krisztian Balog and Johanne at #SIGIRAP2024 🇯🇵 🔗doi.acm.org/?doi=3673791.3…, #convsearch #sigirap24

Loved this #sigirap2024 talk from Fernando Diaz. Often wondered if alternatives to the arithmetic mean were worth using, I got my positive answer in this talk.

Slides of the talk I gave at the SIGIR-AP 2025 #sigirap2024 #naarm #melbourne satellite on decolonising IR research: damianospina.com/talk/20241211-… I wished we had more time for a discussion, but it was great to see Katya Khramtsova acknowledging Country at the start of her talk today.

Many congratulations Marwah Alaofi, awesome work! @AdmsCentre RMIT School of Computing Technologies

"Two Heads Are Better Than One: Improving Search Effectiveness Through LLM Generated Query Variants", short paper accepted #chiir2025.
