10 years ago I was giving my first SIGIR full paper presentation at #sigir2014 .KAIXIN JI just gave an amazing talk (running out of the long 9’ she allocated for questions) presenting her first #sigir2024 full paper! ✨ Lots of thought provoking questions! #proudPhDadvisors

Well done KAIXIN JI for delivering your first full paper talk w/ such clarity! Well Damiano Spina 🦋@damianospina.com it’s my first SIGIR 2025, thx to you, Kaixin, and Peibo Peibo Li (also his first), and to Maarten de Rijke for pulling me to co-chair the IR for climate impact workshop this Thu!

Congratulations to the SIGIR Academy inductees of 2024! 🎉🎉 Including our own RMIT School of Computing Technologies Mark Sanderson #sigir2024 RMIT University

Yes, we’re bringing the most prestigious conference in information retrieval to Melbourne/Naarm! #sigir2026 #IR SIGIR 2025 ACM SIGIR

Yesterday, KAIXIN JI and Sachin PC presented that idea at MobileHCI 2025 #proudPhDsupervisor dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36… Video: dl.acm.org/doi/suppl/10.1…

It was great fun organizing MobileHCI 2025 alongside amazing @lucyamsparrow as local chairs. Many thanks to the SV team, committee and all attendees. Shout out to our lovely General chairs @scrankskunk & Flora Salim for bringing MHCI to Melbourne and their leadership 🙌

We’ll kickstart with a keynote by Mahsa Salehi from Monash University on Advancing Methods for EEG Representation Learning and Classification. Then we’ll have a mix of lighting talks, hands-on tutorials by Nattapat Boonprakong & KAIXIN JI and time to brainstorm about the roadmap!

Great talk by Mahsa Salehi on EEG Representation Learning in APHYMEHII workshop UbiComp in the beautiful four-season-in-a-day Melbourne! The view from lvl35 Sofitel is amazing. You can clearly see the blue to grey and rainy sky in just a span of 1hr across the pics! #ubicomp2024

That’s all, folks! Thank you All for joining us for the #APhyMeHII2024 UbiComp workshop! Great presentations and so much to unpack from the interactive discussions! We also had an unique dining experience at Big Esso (Mabu Mabu) 🦘🦪

An improvised demo of Walert at the UbiComp #ubicomp2024 #iswc2024 #GadgetShow It was a great session, with lots of cool gadgets and wearable devices! Kudos to the members of the Walert team Sachin PC, Lin, Jiaman, and Mohammad! RMIT School of Computing Technologies @AdmsCentre

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
