Call for Papers - 10 days left to submit!
The Workshop
"Information Retrieval 2016"
held by the Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval of the
Gesellschaft für Informatik (German Computing Society) will take place in
conjunction with
LDWA 2016
September 12-14, 2016 at Hasso-Plattner-Institute, Potsdam, Germany
The ubiquity of search systems has led to the application of information
retrieval technology in many new contexts (e.g. mobile and
international) and for new object types (products, patents, music,
microblogs). To develop appropriate products, basic knowledge on
information retrieval needs to be revisited and innovative approaches
need to be applied, for example by allowing for more user interaction or
by taking the user's situational context and the overall task into
account. The quality of information retrieval needs to be evaluated for
each context. Large evaluation initiatives respond to these challenges
and develop new benchmarks.
The workshop Information Retrieval 2016 of the Special Interest Group on
Information Retrieval within the German Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI)
provides a forum for scientific discussion and the exchange of ideas.
The workshop takes place in the context of the LWDA "Learning, Knowledge
,Data, Analysis" workshop week (LWDA, September 12-14, 2016) at the
Hasso-Plattner-Institute, Potsdam, Germany. This workshop continues a
successful
series of conferences and workshops of the Special Interest Group on
Information Retrieval ( http://www.fg-retrieval.gi.de/ ). The workshop
addresses
researchers and practitioners from industry and universities. Especially
Doctorate and Master students are encouraged to participate and discuss
their ideas with world renowned experts. An Industry Session will
stimulate the exchange between information retrieval professionals and
academics. The workshop is expected to include German as well as English
presentations.
