Says it accounts for about 25% of papers accepted for this week's ACM Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval
The Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Information Retrieval is underway in Boston this week and Microsoft is strutting its stuff.
The company says in its Microsoft Research blog that its papers make up between 21% and 28% of those accepted. Topics range from “Context-Aware Query Classification” to “Risky Business: Modeling and Exploiting Uncertainty in Information Retrieval” to “Smoothing Clickthrough Data for Web Search Ranking.”
We didn’t spot any Microsoft-Google “coopetition” but don’t worry, Google researchers will have their say at the event, too, presenting papers such as “Web derived Pronunciations for Spoken Term Detection” and “Good Abandonment in Mobile and PC Internet Search.”
