We are excited to release Seahorse 🌊🐴, a ✨multilingual, multifaceted summarization evaluation dataset✨ 96,000+ human ratings to enable faster progress in training and evaluating learnt metrics for summarization! Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2305.13194 Data: goo.gle/seahorse

The submission link (tinyurl.com/232pmft8) for the conference track of FIRE'23 is now open (accepted papers published in ACM DL). Submit to one or more of the following sub-tracks: 1) Regular paper 2) Extended abstracts 3) Resource/Demos. Please also RT FIRE #fire2023

Here is hoping for true multi-threaded Python code.

My team is looking for research scientists interested in creating impact by developing & applying large foundational models that reshape the listening experience. Please talk to Paul Bennett or myself if interested. Detail of what you would be doing below. lifeatspotify.com/jobs/senior-re…

Announcing "OpinionGPT: A very biased GPT model"! Try it out here: opiniongpt.informatik.hu-berlin.de To investigate the impact of bias on model answers, we asked a simple question: What if we tuned a #GPT model only with texts written by politically right-leaning persons? [1/3]

This paper from Bing "we find that [LLMs] produce better [relevance] labels than third-party workers, for a fraction of the cost, and these labels let us train notably better rankers." Offline evaluation needs extensive human input? Not any more! arxiv.org/abs/2309.10621

Happy to share that our paper "A Deep Learning Approach for Selective Relevance Feedback" has been accepted in the "full papers track" at #ECIR2024. Very well done Suchana Datta, who I co-supervise with @derekgreene. Big thanks to Sean MacAvaney for mentoring Suchana.

Very happy to share the news of my third student Suchana Datta who just passed her PhD viva with flying colours. Suchana Datta during her PhD has got 3 SIGIR, 2 ECIR and 1 WSDM paper -- all A or A* conferences.

7 PhD positions available at UCD UCD Maths and Stats! Scholarships include a stipend of 22k euro (tax-free). Closing date: March 22nd Details are available at ucd.ie/mathstat/study… Please RT!

Preprint of our #ECIR2024 paper is now available arxiv.org/pdf/2401.11198… We show how #QPP can lead to a dynamic #IR pipeline where we decide whether to apply #PRF or not. Sean MacAvaney Suchana Datta @derekgreene Glasgow IR Group

Great opportunity for students who want to gain first-hand experience in programming (possibly machine learning): Google's Summer of Code projects, e.g. for #JabRef, one of the best #ReferenceManagement tools: github.com/JabRef/jabref/… #GSoC #studentlife

Lots of people in CS are (almost surely) GPT-ing their peer reviews arxiv.org/abs/2403.07183

Nice work by Suchana Datta Sean MacAvaney and Debasis Ganguly - great to see selective PRF back again. Glasgow IR Group #ecir2024

Working on Query Performance Prediction (#QPP) and/or its applications for IR and NLP? Consider submitting to this special issue in ACM TOIS (IF: 5.6), where as as fellow guest editors I'm joined by Suchana Datta, Guglielmo Faggioli, Nicola Ferro, & Iadh Ounis. tinyurl.com/mwpzh3vs
