European Summer School in Information Retrieval

By Pedro Santana on Tuesday, January 25, 2005
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT

September 2005, Dublin, Ireland.

http://www.cdvp.dcu.ie/ESSIR2005/

The 5th ESSIR will take place in Dublin, Ireland, hosted by the Centre for Digital Video Processing at Dublin City University, from 5th to 9th September 2005. This will provide students with a grounding in the core subjects of Information Retrieval (IR) as well as covering some of the current 'hot' topics in the area. The school is intended for researchers starting out in IR or for researchers from neighbouring disciplines, as well as for industrial researchers and practitioners who want to find out more about this area. The lecturers at the school are leading European researchers in their own fields and their course subjects strongly reflect the research work for which they are well known.
