Description: Call for Papers (and Participation) THE SIGIR 2008 WORKSHOP ON FUTURE CHALLENGES IN EXPERTISE RETRIEVAL Singapore, 24 July 2008 http://ilps.science.uva.nl/fCHER/ MOTIVATION At the TREC Enterprise Track in 2005 the need to study and understand expertise retrieval (ER) was recognized through the introduction of an Expert Finding task (as opposed to mere document retrieval). The task has generated a lot of interest in the IR community, and rapid progress has been made in terms of modeling, algorithms, and evaluation over the past 3 years. In fact, expertise retrieval has reached the point where it is appropriate to assess progress, bring people ...

Description: The search paradigm by which a user types in 3 or 4 words for a query, and receives a ranked list of results, becomes less effective when the information the user seeks is not contained in a single document, or even in a single category of resource. Furthermore, such an interface which requires a user to scan a ranked list, and click the result and then search the document for the information, is cumbersome if the user is using a mobile phone, or hand-held device. As this is an emerging area of interest, in a fast-growing and dynamic environment, there ...

Description: SIGIR-08 Workshop 2nd Workshop on Analytics for Noisy Unstructured Text Data 24 July 2008 , Singapore http://and2008workshop.googlepages.com/ Call for Papers Workshop Description and Objectives Noise is an unavoidable fact of life. It can manifest itself at the earliest stages of processing in the form of degraded inputs that our systems must be prepared to handle. People are adept when it comes to pattern recognition tasks involving typeset or handwritten documents or recorded speech, machines less-so. From the perspective of down-stream processes that take as their inputs the outputs of recognition systems, including document analysis and OCR, noise can be viewed ...

Description: Call for Papers (and Participation) THE SIGIR 2008 WORKSHOP ON FOCUSED RETRIEVAL: QUESTION ANSWERING, PASSAGE RETRIEVAL, ELEMENT RETRIEVAL Singapore, 24 July 2008 (part of SIGIR 2008) http://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/sigirfocus2008/ DETAILS Standard document retrieval finds atomic documents, and leaves it to the end-user to locate the relevant information inside the document. Focused retrieval removes this latter task from the end user by providing more direct access to relevant information. That is, focused retrieval addresses information retrieval and not simply document retrieval. Focused retrieval has been used to extract relevant sections from academic documents; and the application to text book searching is obvious (such ...

Description: Theme and Topics The theme of ISNM-5 is "Nanomanufacturing of Devices/Products for the Biomedical and Life Sciences Industries". In addition to this theme, the plenary, keynote and technical sessions will also cover classical topics listed below. Nanomanufacturing encompasses the methods, processes and systems required to produce goods that use nano-scale phenomena, features, or parts. Nanomanufacturing will provide the gateway through which scientists and engineers bring the promise of nano-scale science and technology to the consumer. These efforts require the integration of the nano-scale sciences with engineering and manufacturing to solve multi-domain (mechanical, thermal, fluid, electrical, optical, chemical, biological) and multi-scale ...
