It doesn't matter how much data you collect. Correlation analysis does not provide a path toward reverse-engineering complex systems like Web search engines.

In 2028 ECIR will have its 50th anniversary – and you could be organising it! Where will the journey go after Southampton next year?

We are interested in hearing from bidders who wish to organise the European Conference on Information Retrieval 2028 (ECIR 2028) in a European country.

🥜 #IRM26 in a nutshell:

📢 Did you attend the Information Retrieval Meeting at IQWiG and want to review what happened? Or were you unable to attend and want to know what was discussed in April?

📺 No problem—our meeting minutes are now online, including a 5-minute video summary:

#AI #InformationRetrieval

Fancy giving a tutorial? BCS Search Solutions is our annual event focused on practitioner issues in the arena of search and information retrieval. We invites tutorial proposals which focus on any area of the practical application of search technologies to real-world problems. Tutorial day is Tuesday November 24 in London. More information at https://www.bcs.org/membership-and-registrations/member-communities/information-retrieval-specialist-group/conferences-and-events/search-solutions/search-solutions-2026-call-for-tutorials/.

Für Menschen sind "§ 92 I ZPO" und "§ 92 Abs. 1 ZPO" identisch.
Für die meisten Suchsysteme nicht, (auch) deshalb Normalisierung.

@kentpitman @yantar92 @ramin_hal9001 @chiply @karthink @someodd @screwlisp (I haven't read through the whole thread)
In general, you need to differ between different methods of #informationretrieval.

#Search vs. #navigation vs. #tags/labels vs. others + combinations such as teleportation ...

Furthermore, you need to differ between personal retrieval, where you yourself had done some filing/#categorization/tagging process and a process where you need to retrieve something from a corpus that was not somehow curated by you yourself but by one or many peers instead (social #tagging, company file server, ...).

And yes, in any case, your personal mental model changes over time. Therefore, it's difficult to do successful retrieval even for your personal files especially when you did not follow certain principles during the filing process.

For example, that's why tagging is not as simple as most people think it is: https://karl-voit.at/2022/01/29/How-to-Use-Tags/
or https://karl-voit.at/2020/12/27/tagging-natural-objects/

Nice, the state of Information Retrieval in 2026 by Mohan Krishna. Lots of interesting references and thoughts, if you're into leaderboards and state-of-the-art performance on benchmark test collections. #InformationRetrieval

Looking back at #ECIR2026: Jaap Kamps presented the #IRRJ paper "Effectiveness of In-Context Learning for Due Diligence": https://doi.org/10.54195/irrj.22626 #InformationRetrieval

A practical look at how search indexing is evolving to hybrid retrieval systems that support semantic search, vector search, and AI-driven query understanding. https://hackernoon.com/from-inverted-indexes-to-hybrid-retrieval-rethinking-search-architecture #informationretrieval

Well i finally did it. I just released my test dataset for AI Evaluation. Its a simulated company, represented by 60,000 documents, the readme in the image explains it all ... If you are interested, its at https://codeberg.org/Lorenz_Systems/Company_Sim.git

@marlinz #Informationretrieval is depending on the current task and situation.

Sometimes #navigation is the most efficient one, sometimes it's #search. (my #TagTrees are a combination of both) And then there is teleporting, bookmarks/favorites, ...

Unfortunately, most people don't have the knowledge and experience to use multiple methods and decide which method to choose in a specific situation. 😞

FYI: AI-Powered Search: Explained in Simple Terms #shorts: What is AI-powered search? It's where artificial intelligence meets information retrieval. AI allows computers to behave like people, using machine learning and data science to improve search results. It's not just about chatbots; it's about smarter search. #AIsearch #machinelearning #datavisualization #informationretrieval https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tflRHOGMj6Q

Big congratulations to all authors! 🚀
