Monday September 13 - Saturday September 18, 2010
Voronezh, Russia
http://romip.ru/russir2010/eng/
FIRST CALL FOR COURSE PROPOSALS
The 4th Russian Summer School in Information Retrieval (RuSSIR 2010) will be
held on September 13-18, 2010 in Voronezh, Russia, one of the major
cities in
south-western Russia. The mission of the school is to teach students about
modern problems and methods in Information Retrieval; to stimulate
scientific
research in the field of Information Retrieval; and to create an
opportunity for
informal contacts among scientists, students and industry professionals. The
Russian Conference for Young Scientists in Information Retrieval will be co-
located with the school. RuSSIR 2010 will offer 4 or 5 courses and host
approximately 100 participants. The working languages of the school are
English
(preferable) and Russian. The target audience of RuSSIR is advanced
graduate and
PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, academic and industrial
researchers,
and developers.
The RuSSIR 2010 Organizing Committee invites proposals for courses on a wide
range of IR-related topics, including but not limited to:
- IR theory and models
- IR architectures
- Algorithms and data structures for IR
- Text IR
- Multimedia (including music, speech, image, video) IR
- Natural language techniques for IR tasks
- User interfaces for IR
- Web IR (including duplicate detection, hyperlink analysis, query
logs)
- Text mining, information and fact extraction
- Mobile applications for IR
- Dynamic media IR (blogs, news, WIKIs)
- Social IR (collaborative filtering, tagging, recommender systems)
- IR evaluation.
Each course should consist of five 90-minute-long sessions (normally in five
consecutive days). The course may include both lectures and practical
exercises
in computer labs.
RuSSIR 2010 organizers will cover travel expenses and accommodations at the
school for one lecturer per course, but there is no additional honorarium.
The RuSSIR organizers would highly appreciate if, whenever possible,
lecturers
could find alternative funding to cover travel and accommodation
expenses and
indicate this possibility in the proposal.
Course proposals for RuSSIR 2010 must be submitted by email to Pavel
Braslavski
(pb@...), by February 14, 2010. A course proposal should
contain a
brief description of the course (up to 200 words), preferred schedule,
prerequisites, equipment needs, a short description of teaching/research
experience and contact information of the lecturer(s). All proposals will be
evaluated by the RuSSIR 2010 program committee according to the school
goals,
presentation clarity, lecturer’s qualifications and experience. Topics not
featured at previous RuSSIRs are preferred. All submitters will be
notified by
March 1, 2010. Early informal inquiries about the school or the proposal
evaluation process are encouraged.
About RuSSIR: The Russian Summer School in Information Retrieval is
co-organized
by the Russian Information Retrieval Evaluation Seminar (ROMIP) and Voronezh
State University. Previous schools took place in Ekaterinburg, Taganrog, and
Petrozavodsk. Previous RuSSIR courses included IR Models (by Djoerd
Hiemstra),
Modeling Web Searcher Behavior and Interactions (by Eugene Agichtein),
Computational Advertising (by James Shanahan), Text Mining, Information
and Fact
Extraction (by Marie-Francine Moens), Natural Language Processing for
Information Access (by Horacio Saggion), Music IR (by Andreas Rauber), and
other. Ricardo Baeza-Yates, VP of Research for Europe and Latin America at
Yahoo, has confirmed as an invited lecturer for RuSSIR 2010 with the
course 'Web
data mining'.
About the RuSSIR 2010 location: Voronezh is a major city in southwestern
Russia,
spanning both sides of the Voronezh River, with population of 850,000.
Express
trains from Moscow to Voronezh take about 10 hours. There are also regular
flights from Moscow, Munich, Prague, Tel-Aviv, and Istanbul. The town was
founded in 1586. In the 17th century, Voronezh gradually evolved into a
sizeable
town, especially after Tsar Peter the Great built a dockyard in Voronezh.
Currently, Voronezh is an administrative, economic and cultural center
of the
Voronezh region. Voronezh surrounding area has many attractions including
archeological museum, nature and historical reserve Divnogorie,
Kostomarovo cave
monastery, Orlov trotter stud farm at Khrenovoe. Voronezh has a large
student
population: 37 institutions of higher education and 53 colleges
educating over
127,000 students today. Voronezh State University was founded in 1918
and is one
of the largest universities in Russia, with a total enrollment of 22,000.
