General Invitation for Submissions The Student Research Workshop is an established tradition at ACL conferences. The workshop provides a venue for student researchers investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing to present their work and receive feedback from a general audience as well as from panelists. The panelists are experienced researchers who will prepare in-depth comments and questions in advance of the presentation. We would like to invite student researchers to submit their work to the workshop. Since this workshop is an excellent opportunity to ask for suggestions, to receive useful feedback and to run your ideas by an international audience of researchers, the emphasis of the workshop will be on work in progress. The research being presented can come from any topic area within computational linguistics and is understood to be applied to speech and/or text. A list of topic areas is provided in the Call for Papers for the NAACL HLT 2009 Conference available at: http://clear.colorado.edu/NAACLHLT2009/call_for_papers.html 2. Submission Requirements The emphasis of the workshop is original and unpublished research. The papers should describe original work in progress. Students who have settled on their thesis direction but still have significant research left to do are particularly encouraged to submit their papers. Since the main purpose of presenting at the workshop is to exchange ideas with other researchers and to receive helpful feedback for further development of the work, papers should clearly indicate directions for future research wherever appropriate. All authors of multi-author papers MUST be students. Papers submitted for this workshop are eligible only if they have not been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Students who have already presented at an ACL/EACL/NAACL Student Research Workshop may not submit to this workshop. They should submit their papers to the main conference instead. It must be indicated if a paper has been submitted to another conference or workshop. 3. Submission Procedure Submission will be electronic using the paper submission web page below: https://www.softconf.com/naacl-hlt09/StudentResearch2009/ Submissions should follow the two-column format of ACL proceedings and should not exceed six (6) pages, including references.

These files are available at: http://clear.colorado.edu/NAACLHLT2009/stylefiles.html A description of the format is available there in case you are unable to use these style files directly. All submissions must be electronic: please use the submission website above to submit your paper. 4. Reviewing Procedure Reviewing of papers submitted to the Student Workshop will be managed by the Student Workshop Co-Chairs, with the assistance of a team of reviewers. Each submission will be matched with a mixed panel of student and senior researchers for review. The final acceptance decision will be based on the results of the review. Note that reviewing of papers will be double-blind; therefore, please make sure your paper shows the title, but no author information. You should likewise not have any self identifying references anywhere in the paper submitted for review. For example, rather than this: ''We showed previously (Smith, 2001), ...'', use citations such as: ''Smith (2001) previously showed ...''. 5. Schedule The papers must be submitted no later than 11:59 EST, December 15th, 2008. No papers received after this deadline will be accepted. Acknowledgment will be emailed soon after receipt. Notification of acceptance will be sent to authors (by email) on February 6th, 2009.

[mailto:hugoz @ yahoo-inc.com]
ESAIR 2009 : Exploiting Semantic Annotations in Information Retrieval
ESAIR’2009 is an ACM Workshop held in conjunction with WSDM 2009 on February 9th, in Barcelona. After the success of the first ESAIR (ESAIR'08), we’ve decided to organize this workshop one more year. The goal of this workshop is to create a forum for researchers interested in the use of semantic annotations for information retrieval. By semantic annotations we refer to linguistic annotations (such as named entities, semantic classes, etc.) as well as user annotations such as microformats, RDF, tags, etc. The aim of this workshop is not semantic annotation itself, but rather the applications of semantic annotation to information retrieval tasks such as ad-hoc retrieval, classification, browsing, textual mining, summarization, question answering, etc. In the recent years there has been a lot of discussion about semantic annotation of documents. There are many forms of annotations and many techniques that identify or extract them. As NLP tagging techniques mature, more and more annotations can be automatically extracted from free text. In particular, techniques have been developed to ground named entities in terms of geo-codes, ISO time codes, Gene Ontology ids, etc. Furthermore, the number of collections which explicitly identify entities is growing fast with Web 2.0 and Semantic Web initiatives. Despite the growing number and complexity of annotations, and despite the potential impact that these may have in information retrieval tasks, annotations have not yet made a significant impact in Information Retrieval research or applications. Further research is needed before we can unleash the potential of annotations! Workshop InformationESAIR09 is an ACM workshop held in conjuction with the Second ACM International Conference on Web Search and Data Mining (WSDM 2009). ESAIR will be a one-day workshop held on February 9. It will alternate short paper presentations, open discussions and demos. Paper and demos presented will be peer-reviewed. Accepted workshop papers will also be published in the WSDM electronic proceedings, and indexed in the ACM digital library. The registration site is now open, early registration ends January 7, 2009. SubmissionsSubmissions should be in the PDF format be sent by email to oralonso_at_gmail.com and hugoz_at_yahoo-inc.com with the title “ESAIR09 paper/demo submission”. Other than this there are no rules with respect to style or length limit. Submissions do not need to be anonymous. All submissions will be peer-reviewed. Paper submissions: we encourage short paper submissions describing novel work which may not be yet fully evaluated (i.e. somewhere between a poster and a conference paper). Demo submissions: please send a (PDF) description of the demo with many snapshots (or a url if the demo is public). Important Dates

When I took over the list 4-5 years ago, we had about 1200 users, and we were sending out one or two messages a *month*. Now we have about 2300 addresses worldwide on IRList now, and we send 40 to 50 messages a month, on average. Some of these addresses are institutional distribution lists themselves, so we probably have way-wider reach !
As you know, IRList messages come to you from the University of Sheffield, UK. We all owe thanks to Mark Sanderson and LISTmasters at Sheffield for all their help in running the list. As of last week, our SIGIR list irlist (aka SIG-IRList) has been moved to the new Mailing Lists service (still at Sheffield) at lists.shef.ac.uk . The new software has many features to manage messages and users, and I am getting up to speed on the features available to me. Some things remain the same, but there are some differences in email addresses and the way content will be processed now.
In this message, I want to tell you about what’s changed. In addition, I’ll use this opportunity to give you a peek behind the scenes to tell you what I look for in the process of editing your submissions, and suggest ways to spiff up your messages. So please indulge me for a few minutes. And please send me your comments and suggestions to improve the process.
Here are the main changes for all users:
· To submit an article, e-mail IRList@lists.shef.ac.uk. Please use a descriptive subject line (as described below). · To subscribe, send mail to sympa@lists.shef.ac.uk, with the subject: SUBSCRIBE irlist firstname lastname · To unsubscribe, send mail to sympa@lists.shef.ac.uk, with the subject: UNSUBSCRIBE irlist email [The email address is required only if you want to unsubscribe with an address other than the address with which you send the message]
In the new process, I will not have an opportunity to edit your messages. So please create your message following the suggestions here:
Suggestions 1. Please use a descriptive subject line: Mention if it’s a CfP (Call for Papers), a Job posting, a Data or Software offer etc. If it’s a conference or similar meeting, mention a short name of the conference, dates and venue of the meeting in the subject. If it’s a job, mention the title, and the location of the job opportunity. 2. Keep the content matter short and self-contained. Provide a URL where they can get more details. Ensure you mention relevant venues and dates. Make sure the venues include the country. Make sure the dates include month name rather than a month number (to avoid ambiguity). 3. Send your message as inline text and not as an attachment. 4. Send your messages early. 5. Please update your subscription if your email address changes.
Additional Details:
Submissions: In the
earlier process, I read each of the messages I got for IRList. I decide about
10 messages a month are not really aimed at the general IRList audience, so these
don’t get sent to you. I edit the other 40+ messages every month, looking
for complete information, looking for errors, cleaning up some formatting
and editing for length. For example, I look at date formats – we go out all
across the world, so we don’t want to see dates like 7/5/2009 – is that
July 5th or May 7th? I look to see if the dates and the
venue for the meeting (if it’s a meeting) are clearly mentioned –
this may seem odd, but I’ve had to check back with submitters to
get full details in the message. I try and ensure the country is mentioned
(e.g. as Paris, France, rather than just Paris). I also make sure
there’s a URL for the meeting. If the list of organizers, PC members etc
is too long, I usually substitute that with a pointer to the meeting URL. I
try to thwart email trolls by adding random spaces in the sender’s email
address. I make a subject line which tells readers what kind of posting it is
(CfP/Job/Data etc), and if it’s a meeting the name, venue and dates of
the meeting. Please keep these in mind as you create your submission for
IRList. I have empirically found that 4 messages a day is reasonable. We get a bunches of messages to send out, so I don’t want to hold them up. On the other hand, if we send too many on a single day, we see a lot of people leaving the list. I’ll continue to keep to this self-imposed limit. I do most of my IRLIST work late in the day. I try not to do SIGIR stuff over the weekend. And occasionally I am away from my email for a few days, but I usually warn people of possible delays. So you may not see your mail going out as soon as you sent it to the list. But I try to keep the delays small.
If you send your notice as an attachment, it’s a little more work to edit and send it out. So please send your submissions as inline text. We’ve had some encoding problems with Unicode text, so if possible use plain text format messages. Remember your message travels from your machine to servers in Sheffield, UK and then to Redmond, WA, USA, and after I edit it, it goes back to Sheffield and from there to the list members – it’s a wonder of technology that all of this works fine almost all the time !
I have been posting IRList posts to the blog http://searchtextminingspaces.live.com/ and I will find a way to continue to update this blog.
I have a few postings in the queue that I have to send out – sorry about the delay in sending these as we get used to the new system.
Subscriptions: With the old
software, I get a message every time someone sends a subscribe message, and I
have to OK the membership. This process will continue to be the same. I also will
continue to get a notification when people leave the list. One of the neat features
in the new software helps us manage bounced messages. If you’ve ever
managed a distribution list, you know that bounced mail can be hard to deal
with. For every single message I get 200 to 400 bounce messages for
various reasons (mailboxes being over-quota, people moving, network issues etc.)!
A number of Outlook message processing rules help me maintain (relative!)
sanity! But the new software blocks bounce messages; it also maintains bounce
counts and what not, warns people first if they bounce too often, and removes
them from the list of they bounce way too often. But please also do your bit by
updating your email address when it changes. The new process even lets you
unsubscribe from a different email address! Thank you for reading this message. Once the list has stabilized, as I had mentioned earlier, I will start looking for someone to take over the list. Meanwhile, thanks also for the opportunity to be

[SIG-IRList] Call for Papers: ACL 2009 Student Research WorkshopFrom: Min-Yen Kan [mailto:knmnyn@gmail.com] Subject: Call for Papers: ACL 2009 Student Research Workshop Call for Papers: ACL 2009 Student Research Workshop 1. General Invitation for Submissions The Student Research Workshop is an established tradition at ACL conferences. The workshop provides a venue for student researchers investigating topics in Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing to present their work and receive feedback. Participants will have the opportunity to receive feedback from a general audience as well as from panelists; the panelists are experienced researchers who will prepare in-depth comments and questions in advance of the presentation. We would like to invite student researchers to submit their work to the workshop. Since this workshop is an excellent opportunity to ask for suggestions, to receive useful feedback and to run your ideas by an international audience of researchers, the emphasis of the workshop will be on work in progress. The research being presented can come from any topic area within computational linguistics including, but not limited to, the following topic areas: * pragmatics, discourse, semantics, syntax and the lexicon * phonetics, phonology and morphology * linguistic, mathematical and psychological models of language * information retrieval, information extraction, question answering * summarization and paraphrasing * speech recognition, speech synthesis * corpus-based language modeling * multi-lingual processing, machine translation, translation aids * spoken and written natural language interfaces, dialogue systems * multi-modal language processing, multimedia systems * message and narrative understanding systems 2. Submission Requirements The emphasis of the workshop is on original and unpublished research. The papers should describe original work in progress. Students who have settled on their thesis direction but still have significant research left to do are particularly encouraged to submit their papers. Since the main purpose of presenting at the workshop is to exchange ideas with other researchers and to receive helpful feedback for further development of the work, papers should clearly indicate directions for future research wherever appropriate. All authors of multi-author papers MUST be students. Papers submitted for this workshop are eligible only if they have not been presented at any other meeting with publicly available published proceedings. Students who have already presented at an ACL/EACL/NAACL Student Research Workshop may not submit to this workshop. They should submit their papers to the main conference instead. It must be indicated if a paper has been submitted to another conference or workshop. 3. Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: February 22, 2009 Notification of acceptance: April 12, 2009 Camera-ready submission deadline: May 17, 2009 Conference dates: August 2-7, 2009 (run concurrently with the main conference) 4. Funding for Travel In previous years the Student Research Workshop has secured funding to assist participants with travel and conference expenses. We will be applying for such funding again this year, and sincerely hope that financial constraints do not prevent any students from submitting their work. 5. Contact Information If you need to contact the Co-Chairs of the Student Workshop, please use: acl09-srw@cs.stanford.edu. An e-mail sent to this address will be forwarded to all Co-Chairs.

[SIG-IRList] Hypertext 2009: The 20th ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia; June 29th - July 1st, 2009, Torino, ItalyFrom: filmenczer @ gmail.com On Behalf Of Fil Menczer Subject: Hypertext 2009 CALL FOR PAPERS Hypertext 2009 The Twentieth ACM Conference on Hypertext and Hypermedia http://www.ht2009.org June 29th - July 1st, 2009, Torino, Italy SCOPE ----- The ACM Hypertext Conference is the main venue for high quality peer-reviewed research on "linking." The Web, the Semantic Web, the Web 2.0, and Social Networks are all manifestations of the success of the link. The Hypertext Conference provides the forum for all research concerning links: their semantics, their presentation, the applications, as well as the knowledge that can be derived from their analysis and their effects on society. Hypertext 2008, held in Pittsburgh, was a real success. The number of submissions and attendees was up, a successful Student Research Competition took place, and a rejuvenated social linking track added new ideas and connections to the traditional core of the conference. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- * Technical tracks paper submission deadline: February 2nd, 2009 * Notification to authors: March 16th, 2009 * Camera-ready (final papers to ACM): April 6th, 2009 LOCATION AND DATES ------------------ Hypertext 2009 will be held from June 29th to July 1st at the Villa Gualino Convention Center, on the hills overlooking Torino. The capital of the Piedmont region, Torino lies at the foot of the Alps, the majestic mountains that hosted the 2006 Winter Olympics. First the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, then one of the European centers of baroque, today Torino is a dynamic city known for its industry, art and culture, sports, research and education, and cuisine. The timing of Hypertext 2009 provides an excellent opportunity to visit Italy in conjunction with the International Conference on User Modeling, Adaptation, and Personalization in Trento (UMAP 2009), and the International Workshop and Conference on Network Science in Venice (NetSci 2009). PROGRAM ------- Hypertext 2009 will feature two stellar keynote speakers: Lada Adamic (University of Michigan) is a noted scholar of social networking and the winner of the 2008 Engelbart Award; Ricardo Baeza-Yates is Vice-President of Yahoo! Research for Europe and Latin America, leading the labs in Spain, Chile, and Israel. In the conference technical program, professionals from academia, industry, and the media will present innovative ideas and tools exploiting the broad range of links increasingly connecting people, information, communities, and structures. Research topics will be organized into three tracks: track 1. Information Structure and Presentation (Chairs: Peter Brusilovsky and Cristina Gena) track 2. People, Resources, and Annotations (Chairs: Andreas Hotho and Vittorio Loreto) track 3. Hypertext and Community (Chairs: Mark Bernstein and Antonio Pizzo) TRACK 1: INFORMATION STRUCTURE AND PRESENTATION ----------------------------------------------- Chairs: * Peter Brusilovsky, University of Pittsburgh (USA) * Cristina Gena, University of Torino (Italy) The information structure and presentation track represents a multitude of topics, which were traditionally represented at ACM Hypertext Conferences. The track program targets formal study of scholarly, structural, sculptural, spatial, open, dynamic and adaptive or any other type of hypertext (or Web-based Information System). This track also focuses on how hypertext approaches and technologies can be applied to structure and present information in diverse domains, and how hypertext techniques can be exploited in classical and advanced applications. The aim of this track is to bring researchers together to discuss models, architecture, applications, properties, or theory in general, about hypertext and hypermedia. Topics for consideration include: * Hypertext models * Spatial hypertext * Information structuring * Hypertext and knowledge management * Self-organized hypertext * Personal information organization * Intelligent hypertext and link generation * Navigation support * Open hypertext * Web and hypertext link analysis * Dynamic and adaptive hypertext * Hypertext and web engineering * Interfaces and interaction with hypertexts * Faceted browsing * Social navigation * Hypertexts supporting Web-based collaboration * Hypertext and recommender systems: the role of link in recommendations * Hypertext applications in everyday devices (TV, mobile phone, on board car service, etc.) * Educational hypertext and hypermedia * User evaluations of hypertext application * Hypertext and cultural heritage * E-books, kiosks, e-commerce, e-tourism * Hypertext application in medical and health systems For additional information on the track and the Program Committee, please visit http:/www.ht2009.org/track1.php TRACK 2: PEOPLE, RESOURCES, AND ANNOTATIONS ------------------------------------------- Chairs: * Andreas Hotho, University of Kassel (Germany) * Vittorio Loreto, Sapienza University of Rome (Italy) One of the most exciting recent developments in Web science is the rise of social annotation, by which users can easily markup other authors' resources via collaborative mechanisms such as tagging, filtering, voting, editing, classification, and rating. These social processes lead to the emergence of many types of links between texts, users, concepts, pages, articles, media, and so on. We welcome submissions on design, analysis, and modeling of information systems driven by social linking. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Applications to search, retrieval, recommendation, and navigation * Explicit vs. inferred social links (e.g. mining query logs) * Integration of different social networks (e.g. links between blogs and bookmarking systems) * Socially induced measures of similarity, relatedness, or distance * Co-evolution of social, information, and semantic networks * Analysis of the structure and the dynamics of social information networks * Behavioral patterns of social linking * Linguistic analysis of social annotation spaces * Formal and generative models of social annotation * Unstructured vs. structured social knowledge representations * Implementation and scalability of social link representations * Automatic and user-based evaluation * Emergent semantics in social networks * Robustness against spam and other forms of social abuse * Design of collaborative annotation mechanisms * Critical mass and incentives of social participation (e.g. games) * User interfaces for collaborative annotation For additional information on the track and the Program Committee, please visit http:/www.ht2009.org/track2.php TRACK 3: HYPERTEXT AND COMMUNITY -------------------------------- Chairs: * Mark Bernstein, Eastgate Systems, Inc. (UK) * Antonio Pizzo, University of Torino (Italy) The Hypertext and Community track will explore, examine, and reflect upon social cyberculture in electronic media, ranging from literary fiction and creative scholarship to blog and microblog networks, social sites, games, auctions, and markets. Topics will include: * Hypertext literature * Theory and practice of expression in wikis, weblogs, and social spaces * Personal journals, weblogs, and social media * Net art, literary hypertext, interactive fiction, and games * Behavioral patterns of social linking For additional information on the track and the Program Committee, please visit http:/www.ht2009.org/track3.php SUBMISSIONS ----------- Papers must report new results substantiated by experimentation, simulation, analysis, or application. Authors are invited to submit papers presenting original, not previously published works. Submission categories may include regular research papers (max 10 pages) discussing mature work, and short papers (max 5 pages) describing preliminary results of on-going work or novel thought-provoking ideas. All submissions should be formatted according to the official ACM SIG proceedings template (http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) and submitted via EasyChair (http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ht2009). Accepted papers will appear in the Hypertext 2009 Conference Proceedings and also be available through the ACM Digital Library. DEMOS AND INDUSTRIAL SESSION ---------------------------- Technical demonstration of new tools and innovative applications of hypertext are solicited. One-page demo descriptions, including a list of any required supporting equipment, should be sent to by e-mail to Giancarlo Ruffo, Demo Chair <ruffo@di.unito.it>. CALL FOR WORKSHOPS ------------------ ACM Hypertext 2009 will be running at least two workshops, taking place on the 29th of June before the start of the main conference. The purpose of the workshops is to provide a more informal setting where participants can exchange ideas on a focused topic and suggest directions for future research. As such, they also offer a good opportunity for (young) researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community. Acceptance of workshop proposals will be based on the organizer's experience and background in the topic, and on the relevance of the subject matter w.r.t. the topics addressed in the main conference. Details on workshop proposal submissions can be found at http://www.ht2009.org/workshops.php Important Workshop Dates: * December 15th, 2008: Submission of proposals * December 29th, 2008: Notification to proposers * January 12th, 2009: The organizers of each workshop send out the Call for Papers * June 29th, 2009: Workshops day ORGANIZATION ------------- GENERAL CO-CHAIRS: Ciro Cattuto (ISI Foundation, Torino) and Giancarlo Ruffo (University of Torino) PROGRAM CHAIR: Filippo Menczer (Indiana University) WORKSHOPS CO-CHAIRS: Santo Fortunato (ISI Foundation, Torino) and Rossano Schifanella (University of Torino) TREASURER: Roberto Palermo (ISI Foundation, Torino) ************************************************ This SIGIR-IRList message and the SIG-IRList Digest (a moderated IR newsletter), are brought to you by SIGIR, distributed from the University of Sheffield and edited by Raman Chandrasekar (irlist-editor@acm.org). o To submit an article, e-mail irlist-request@sheffield.ac.uk with the subject heading SUBMIT o To unsubscribe, click here or e-mail listproc@sheffield.ac.uk with no subject and the following body text: unsubscribe irlist o To subscribe, e-mail listproc@sheffield.ac.uk with no subject and the following body text: subscribe irlist <your name> o For more info, visit: http://www.sigir.org/sigirlist/ o IRList postings can be seen at http://searchtextminingspaces.live.com/ o Subscribe to a feed of these messages at http://searchtextmining.spaces.live.com/feed.rss These files are not to be sold or used for commercial purposes.

[SIG-IRList] CALL FOR SPECIAL ISSUE PROPOSALS, ACM Trans Information SystemsFrom: Jamie Callan [mailto:callan@cs.cmu.edu] Subject: ACM TOIS Call for Special Issue Proposals CALL FOR SPECIAL ISSUE PROPOSALS ACM Transactions on Information Systems (TOIS) invites proposals for a special issue of the journal devoted to any topic in information retrieval, organization, and analysis. Special issues are often organized around topics that have had significant recent workshop activity, although this is not a requirement. Past special issues have focused on topics such as personal information management (26 (4)), XML retrieval (24(4)), and recommender systems (22(1)). See the TOIS Editorial Charter (http://tois.acm.org/charter.html) for more information about topics typically covered by TOIS. The special issue will be managed by 1-3 guest editor(s), under the supervision of the TOIS Editorial Board. It must have an open call for papers, be open to anyone, and have a rigorous review process. The papers themselves must be significant original work; they cannot be small extensions of previously published papers. Guest editors may write a brief overview paper that introduces the topic and provides context for the issue, but will not ordinarily be authors or coauthors of other papers in the issue. The proposal for a special issue should introduce the topic and explain why it is important to launch a special issue on that topic now. It should include a survey of recent literature on the topic (related special issues, workshop and conference proceedings) and explain the added value of the proposed special issue against the background of other relevant publications (if applicable). Proposals should include a tentative Guest Editorial Board, information about the prospective Guest Editors (relevant experience, publications, etc), and a tentative time-scale for the production of the special issue. Special issue proposals must be submitted by email to Jamie Callan (callan@cs.cmu.edu) by January 5, 2009. Important Dates - January 5, 2009 Deadline for submitting proposals to Jamie Callan (callan@cs.cmu.edu) - February 16, 2009 Notification of acceptance or rejection - March 30, 2009 Special issue call for papers is published ************************************************ This SIGIR-IRList message and the SIG-IRList Digest (a moderated IR newsletter), are brought to you by SIGIR, distributed from the University of Sheffield and edited by Raman Chandrasekar (irlist-editor@acm.org). o To submit an article, e-mail irlist-request@sheffield.ac.uk with the subject heading SUBMIT o To unsubscribe, e-mail listproc@sheffield.ac.uk with no subject and the following body text: unsubscribe irlist o To subscribe, e-mail listproc@sheffield.ac.uk with no subject and the following body text: subscribe irlist <your name> o For more info, visit: http://www.sigir.org/sigirlist/ o IRList postings can be seen at http://searchtextminingspaces.live.com/ o Subscribe to a feed of these messages at http://searchtextmining.spaces.live.com/feed.rss These files are not to be sold or used for commercial purposes.

Presence of a diversity of content (photos, videos, travel maps, reviews, interactive gaming, etc.) as well as a variety of interaction paths (explicit friendships, links to bookmarks or blogs, comments left on blogs, etc.) give raise to a number of new and unique research challenges in terms of their management, mining and modeling. Their effective solution requires deeper collaboration amongst research areas ranging from graph theory to sociology and economic models to data engineering. In this workshop we aim to bring together academic researchers and practitioners to address the open research challenges in dynamic social networks. We solicit original high-quality submissions dealing with various aspects of modeling and mining of evolving social networks with applications to recommendation systems, targeted advertising, and classification/ clustering of entities. TOPICS OF INTEREST - Modeling of Social Networks o Evolutionary models for social networks. o Privacy and security issues. o Modeling trust and reputation in social networks. - Recommendation o Importance of friendship links in social recommender systems. o Impact of recommendation models on the evolution of the social network. o Classification models and their application in social recommender systems. - Advertisement models o Influence models and their application in social environment o Social advertising. o Use of social networks for marketing - Search in social media o Web page ranking informed by social media. o Expertise discovery. o Collaborative Filtering.

[mailto:e.j.krahmer @ uvt.nl]
EACL 2009 FINAL CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS
Proposals are invited for the Tutorial Program of the 12th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (EACL 2009), to be held in Athens, Greece, from March 30 to April 3, 2009. The selected tutorials will be given on the Monday and Tuesday preceeding the main conference (March 30 and 31).
Proposals for tutorials on all topics of natural language processing, speech processing and information retrieval are sought. We particularly welcome (1) tutorials which cover advances in newly emerging areas not previously covered in an (E)ACL related tutorial, or (2) tutorials which provide introductions into related fields which are potentially relevant for the CL community (e.g. bioinformatics, human language processing, emerging machine learning techniques).
The remuneration for tutorials will be computed as follows: • €484 for up to 20 people • plus €23 per person for registrants 21 to 50 • plus €16 per person for registrants greater than 50
The minimum remuneration will be €484 or the cost of one economy airline ticket to the conference, whichever is higher. As has been ACL policy, the remuneration is per tutorial, not per presenter; multiple presenters will split the proceeds, the default assumption being an even split.
These figures are euro conversions to the nearest euro of dollar amounts quoted in

2nd International Conference on the Theory of Information Retrieval September 10-12, 2009 http://kmi.open.ac.uk/events/ictir09/
Introduction
The International Conference on the Theory of Information Retrieval (ICTIR) aims to provide a forum for discussion and interaction among those with theoretical and applicative research interests in mathematical/formal aspects of Information Retrieval (IR), including, e.g., foundational issues, description or integration of models, retrieval applications, mathematical/formal techniques, existing and/or new theories and theoretical aspects.
ICTIR has grown out of the Mathematical/Formal Methods workshops held annually at SIGIR between 2000 and 2005. These workshops demonstrated that the mathematical/formal results achieved in IR could be organized into a coherent theoretical framework, bringing new knowledge to IR, and that mathematical/formal research can stand as a specialized research area of IR. The first ICTIR conference was held in 2007 in Budapest, Hungary, with the overall aim to explore the multi-valued meaning of IR, combining areas like mathematics and linguistics.
The second ICTIR conference in 2009 aims to continue in the same spirit, promoting research in the wider contexts of IR. Reflecting this, in addition to the established fields and approaches in IR, research papers on new approaches inspired from mathematics, physics, linguistics, biology, philosophy, sociology, and other areas are sought. Papers that demonstrate a high level of research adventure or which break out of the traditional IR paradigms are particularly welcome. Experimental and/or practical results from new paradigms are also of interest.
Indicative topics of interest
We seek high-quality and original research papers and posters that have not been previously published and are not under review for another conference or journal. Submissions will be reviewed by experts on the basis of the originality of the work, the validity of the chosen methodology and their results, quality of writing and the overall contribution to the field of IR. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the theories and formal models appropriate to the following areas:
Foundations § Mathematical foundations of IR § Probabilistic, logical, language models and quantum mechanics based models § Information, meaning, entropy § Properties and structures in IR § IR architectures: peer-to-peer, distributed IR, grid § Content representation and indexing § Algorithms, complexity § New models, frameworks and approaches to IR
Techniques § Evaluation methodologies, test collections, metrics § User modelling and user interactions § Context issues § Browsing, semantic search, meta-search § Bibliometrics for IR and citation analysis § Social networks and media, on-line community analysis, social tagging § Machine learning § Visualisation
Applications § Web IR § Enterprise search § Expert search § Interactive IR § Text mining § Digital libraries § XML retrieval § Multimedia retrieval § Domain-specific IR (blog, legal, biomedical, book, etc.) § Recommender systems § Filtering § Semantic Web § Mobile IR
Wider context § Philosophy of IR § Sociology of IR § Pedagogy of IR § Linguistics of IR
Important dates and further information
Authors are invited to submit research papers up to 12 pages representing original and previously unpublished work, on or before the 17th of April 2009. Poster submission of up to 4 pages can be submitted until the 1st of May 2009.
Submissions must be written in English, following the submission guidelines published on the conference web site: http://kmi.open.ac.uk/events/ictir09/. All accepted papers and posters will be published in the Proceedings of ICTIR’09, Alma Mater Series. In addition, a special edition of the Journal of Information Retrieval will be published from the selected best papers.

In all these contexts, people find easier to indicate which objects they prefer to which other with respect to make absolute judgments about the relevance they give to each of them. Recently, preference learning models and preference based predictions have gained popularity in the machine learning and knowledge discovery communities. Many supervised learning tasks can in fact be modelled as sets of preferences over a parameterized relevance function. This kind of preferences are given in the form of partial or full orders over the relevance function. Preferences can be given between objects (instance rankings) and/or between classes (label rankings). Other interesting topics are how to mine or elicitate preferences from user behaviours and how to aggregate preferences obtained from multiple sources. We invite papers on learning preferences and/or learning with preferences. In particular topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - theory about any aspect of preference learning - preference based models to cope with structured (complex) predictions - preference mining and preference elicitation - preference/ranking aggregation - semi-supervised preference learning - scalability and efficiency of preference based learning algorithms - evaluation measures for preference learning - applications of preference learning: information retrieval, e-commerce, games, ecc. Submitted papers will be reviewed according to the ESANN reviewing process and will be evaluated on their scientific value; originality, correctness, and writing style. The 17th European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks Advances in Computational Intelligence and Learning will be held in Bruges/Belgium on April 22-23-24, 2009. More information can be found here: http://www.dice.ucl.ac.be/esann Prospective authors are invited to submit their contributions before November 21, 2008. The electronic submission procedure is described on the ESANN portal http://www.dice.ucl.ac.be/esann/. Authors must also commit themselves that they will register to the conference and present the paper in case of acceptation of their submission (one paper per registrant). Authors of accepted papers will have to register before February 28, 2009; they will benefit from the advance registration fee. The ESANN conference applies a strict policy about the presentation of accepted papers during the conference: authors of accepted papers who do not show up at the conference will be blacklisted for future ESANN conferences, and the lists will be communicated to other conference organizers.

[SIG-IRLIst] [KDD-2009] Call for Panel ProposalsFrom: Hui Xiong [mailto:xionghui @ gmail.com] Subject: [KDD-2009] Call for Panel Proposals ===================================================================== SUBJECT: CALL FOR PANEL PROPOSALS, Due: February 23, 2009 KDD-2009: The Fifteenth ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD'09) Paris, France June 28 - July 1, 2009. http://www.kdd.org/kdd2009/ ===================================================================== The KDD-2009 organizing committee invites proposals for panels to be held at the conference. Panel proposals should address emerging, controversial and critical issues in data mining that would likely to have a lasting impact on the field and would also lead to exciting discussions and debates. A mix of industry, academic and government participants is encouraged. For this year's conference we are interested in addressing new topics, particularly centered around human issues related to data mining (e.g., privacy, ethics, cultural differences, applications and implications of data mining on end users, societal benefits, economic impacts etc.) Proposal Details Panel proposals should be no more than four pages long and should include the following: * Title of the panel * The topic and issues to be discussed in the panel * Name, affiliation, and contact information for the panel organizer * Names and affiliations of up to four panelists (in addition to the panel organizer) who have made a commitment to participate * List of 10 questions that the panel organizer will ask the panelists * Brief biography of each participant IMPORTANT: the KDD 09 panels will be summarized in a paper that will be published in the conference proceedings. Therefore, the panel organizer will be requested to collect from the panelists, in writing, the responses to some of the questions well in advance of the conference. The conference panel chair (A. Jaimes) will collect the materials and work with the panel organizers selected to produce the paper. The motivation for having the paper is two-fold: make the panelists' perspectives available after the conference, and ensure that panelists (and audience) give considerable thought to the issues prior to the panel. ====================================================================== IMPORTANT DATES: * Panel proposals due: February 23, 2009 ====================================================================== Panel proposals should be sent by e-mail in PDF or ASCII format to the Panel Chair Alejandro Jaimes (ajaimes AT tid.es) ************************************************ This SIGIR-IRList message and the SIG-IRList Digest (a moderated IR newsletter), are brought to you by SIGIR, distributed from the University of Sheffield and edited by Raman Chandrasekar (irlist-editor@acm.org). o To submit an article, e-mail irlist-request@sheffield.ac.uk with the subject heading SUBMIT o To unsubscribe, e-mail listproc@sheffield.ac.uk with no subject and the following body text: unsubscribe irlist o To subscribe, e-mail listproc@sheffield.ac.uk with no subject and the following body text: subscribe irlist <your name> o For more info, visit: http://www.sigir.org/sigirlist/ o IRList postings can be seen at http://searchtextminingspaces.live.com/ o Subscribe to a feed of these messages at http://searchtextmining.spaces.live.com/feed.rss These files are not to be sold or used for commercial purposes.

[SIG-IRList] [KDD-2009] Call for Tutorial ProposalsFrom: Hui Xiong [mailto:xionghui @ gmail.com] Subject: [KDD-2009] Call for Tutorial Proposals ===================================================================== SUBJECT: CALL FOR TUTORIAL PROPOSALS, Due: February 23, 2009 KDD-2009: The Fifteenth ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD'09) Paris, France June 28 - July 1, 2009. http://www.kdd.org/kdd2009/ ===================================================================== KDD-2009 will host tutorials covering topics in data mining of interest to the research community as well as application developers. The tutorials will be part of the main conference technical program, and are free of charge to the attendees of the conference. We invite proposals for half-day tutorials from active researchers and experienced tutors. Ideally, a tutorial will cover the state-of-the-art research, development and applications in a specific data mining direction, and stimulate and facilitate future work. Tutorials on interdisciplinary directions, novel and fast growing directions, and significant applications are highly encouraged. A tutorial proposal should be formatted in the following sections. 1. Title 2. Abstract (up to 150 words) 3. Target audience and prerequisites. Proposals must clearly identify the intended audience for the tutorial (e.g., novice users of statistical techniques, or expert researchers in text mining). What background will be required of the audience? Why is this topic important/interesting to the KDD community? What is the benefit to participants? 4. Outline of the tutorial. Enough material should be included to provide a sense of both the scope of material to be covered and the depth to which it will be covered. The more details that can be provided, the better (up to and including links to the actual slides). Note that the tutors should NOT focus mainly on their own research results. A KDD tutorial is not a forum for promoting one's research or product. 5. A list of forums and their time and locations if the tutorial or a similar/highly related tutorial has been presented by the same author(s) before, and highlight the similarity/difference between those and the one proposed for KDD'08 (up to 100 words for each entry) 6. A list of tutorials on the same/similar/highly related topics given by other people, and highlight the difference between yours and theirs (up to 100 words for each entry) 7. A list of other tutorials given by the authors, please list the titles, the presenters and the forums only. 8. Tutors' short bio and their expertise related to the tutorial (up to 200 words per tutor) 9. A list of up to 20 most important references that will be covered in the tutorial 10. (Optional) URLs of the slides/notes of the previous tutorials given by the authors, and any specific audio/video/computer requirements for the tutorial. ================================================================ Important dates for the tutorials: * Proposals due: Feb 23 ================================================================ Please send you submission to bart.goethals@ua.ac.be Tutorials Chair Bart Goethals ************************************************ This SIGIR-IRList message and the SIG-IRList Digest (a moderated IR newsletter), are brought to you by SIGIR, distributed from the University of Sheffield and edited by Raman Chandrasekar (irlist-editor@acm.org). o To submit an article, e-mail irlist-request@sheffield.ac.uk with the subject heading SUBMIT o To unsubscribe, e-mail listproc@sheffield.ac.uk with no subject and the following body text: unsubscribe irlist o To subscribe, e-mail listproc@sheffield.ac.uk with no subject and the following body text: subscribe irlist <your name> o For more info, visit: http://www.sigir.org/sigirlist/ o IRList postings can be seen at http://searchtextminingspaces.live.com/ o Subscribe to a feed of these messages at http://searchtextmining.spaces.live.com/feed.rss These files are not to be sold or used for commercial purposes.
