CIIR researchers will present six papers and two workshops at the 47th International ACM SIGIR Conference on Research and Development in Information Retrieval (SIGIR 2024) in Washington, D.C. in July. SIGIR is the premier international forum for the presentation of new research results and for the demonstration of new systems and techniques in information retrieval.
