Dear all,

For now, I will keep the site closed for registrations; but everyone can independently invite people to join using the following link to generate an invite:

idf.social/invites

If you know someone who wants to join this instance, then please do give them an invite!

Consider the instance open for those who know anyone on IDF.social.

"Sense of community" and an initial seed of some 40 IR researchers should be enough to keep those spammers out of here and still grow the club!

Enjoyed giving a lecture on "Bias in Recommendations" at the SIKS Course "Advances in Information Retrieval," where I explained a bit about our challenges in working with implicit feedback (clicks), and was happy to discover Thorsten Joachims' seminal paper on implicit feedback late yesterday evening in preparation of these slides 😉!
