European Summer School lecture on tips for doing research in IR ciir.cs.umass.edu/downloads/essi…

We're thrilled to announce the second keynote #ictir2019 by Dr. Diane Kelly: What Do We Mean by Theory in Information Retrieval? ictir2019.org/program/#ks

We have just released MatchZoo-py, a new open source project of MatchZoo based on the PyTorch framework. It is highly flexible and scalable, and also integrates the pre-training model BERT for effectiveness. More features please find at: github.com/NTMC-Community…

UMass just announced that we are looking for an IR faculty person - apply early and often! careers.umass.edu/amherst/en-us/…

#sigir2020 #sigir Good news! All attendees of any registration types have access to SIGIR 2020 Summer School without paying extra!

Congratulations

The story behind the online virtual conference: Those guys/volunteers are working 20 hours a day in turn (from 6:30am to 02:00am) for #SIGIR2020 to guarantee everything runs smoothly. Photos were taken at Beijing BAAI, 28 July,2020. Thank you for the hard work!

We are thrilled to announce the new home of MatchZoo (ntmc-community.github.io), with brand new models, detailed tutorials and very rich resources on "Text Matching Progresses". Enjoy it! #MatchZoo #NeuIR
