IR (and friends) in 108 (and nearby)

This is a discussion group for people working in information retrieval, data mining, document computing, and similar fields in the ANU departments of Computer Science and Engineering, the ANU Computer Sciences Laboratory, the CSIRO ICT Centre, and NICTA. Others are of course welcome too.

This is not a seminar series! The goal is to encourage discussion between people working in similar fields; to provide a venue for feedback on work in progress; and to get people from different groups talking to each other. Please be prepared for conversation.

Speakers in 2010

We meet every second Monday, from 4-5pm, in the CSIRO seminar room in the CS&IT building. CSIRO are kind enough to provide wine (and soft drinks) and cheese.

This is a list of all past and planned talks in 2010. Italicised entries are seminars or other out-of-band events which might interest an information retrieval, data mining, or document computing crowd.

Want to present something?

If you've got some work, or an idea for some work, which you'd like to discuss, email Paul to be put on the list. It doesn't have to be completed work, and a short presentation is fine; the idea is to get discussion going, not to present eternal verities.
