Two journal papers on evaluation

The Journal of Data and Information Quality (ACM JDIQ) had a two-parts special issue on Reproducibility in Information Retrieval. There are two papers in there, co-authored by Krisztian Balog:

  • OpenSearch: Lessons Learned from an Online Evaluation Campaign by Jagerman et al. [PDF]
  • Evaluation-as-a-Service for the Computational Sciences: Overview and Outlook by Hopfgartner et al. [PDF]

Some time away

In the coming months, we will be away visiting other research groups. Krisztian Balog will spend a year-long sabbatical at Google, London, UK, while the PhD students will each do a 3-months internship: Shuo Zhang at Bloomberg, London, UK, Darío Garigliotti at Signal Media, London, UK, and Trond Linjordet at ILPS, University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
