CALL FOR PAPERS
13th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
on
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
in
INFORMATION RETRIEVAL
ULB
Brussels
BELGIUM
September 5-7, 1990
In co-operation with the ACM
INFORMATION RETRIEVAL
The annual ACM SIGIR conference is the leading conference on research and
development in I.R. covering classical aspects of document and text retrieval
as well as newer multidisciplinary facets.
There is a particular need for increased effort aimed at more effective
implementation. At the same time, a number of basic theoretical issues remain
far from well-established. In both of these areas, there are a variety of
interactions with a number of disciplines, as can be seen from the list of
topics proposed below.
It is intended that the 13th Annual ACM SIGIR Conference will directly address
the important relationship between practical demand analysis and the progress
which has been made in fundamental theory, especially in Natural Language
Processing and Artificial Intelligence.
TOPICS FOR SIGIR '9O
Original research papers and panel proposals are solicited on topics
including, but not limited to, the following :
Artificial intelligence and information retrieval
Knowledge-based methods and connectionism.
Natural language processing and information retrieval
Syntactical models,
Deep understanding,
Multilingual systems,
