“The birth of collective memories: Analyzing emerging entities in text streams” by David Graus, Daan Odijk and Maarten de Rijke, to be published in the Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology is online now at this location. In the paper we study how collective memories are formed online. We do so by…

“Why People Search for Images using Web Search Engines” by Xiaohui Xie, Yiqun Liu, Maarten de Rijke, Jiyin He, Min Zhang and Shaoping Ma is online now at this location. It will be published at WSDM 2018. What are the intents or goals behind human interactions with image search engines? Knowing why people search for…

Our Information Retrieval Journal paper “Neural information retrieval: at the end of the early years” by Kezban Dilek Onal, Ye Zhang, Ismail Sengor Altingovde, Md Mustafizur Rahman, Pinar Karagoz, Alex Braylan, Brandon Dang, Heng-Lu Chang, Henna Kim, Quinten McNamara, Aaron Angert, Edward Banner, Vivek Khetan, Tyler McDonnell, An Thanh Nguyen, Dan Xu, Byron C. Wallace,…

Our CIKM 2017 papers are online now: “Online expectation-maximization for click models” by Ilya Markov, Alexey Borisov, and Maarten de Rijke. Click models allow us to interpret user click behavior in search interactions and to remove various types of bias from user clicks. Existing studies on click models consider a static scenario where user click…

David Graus, Daan Odijk and I just uploaded a manuscript to arXiv on “The Birth of Collective Memories: Analyzing Emerging Entities in Text Streams.” We study how collective memories are formed online. We do so by tracking entities that emerge in public discourse, that is, in online text streams such as social media and news…

A survey on query auto completion in information retrieval written by Fei Cai and myself is online now: Fei Cai and Maarten de Rijke. A Survey of Query Auto Completion in Information Retrieval. Foundations and Trends in Information Retrieval, 10(4):273–363, September 2016. Bibtex, PDF @article{cai-survey-2016, author = {Cai, Fei and de Rijke, Maarten}, date-added =…

The Information Retrieval Journal has put out a call for contributions to a special issue on neural information retrieval. Topics for this issue include the application of neural network models in IR tasks, including but not limited to: Full text document retrieval, passage retrieval, question answering Web search, paid search, searching social media, entity search…
