IDF.social is your home if you know:

\[
\textit{idf} = - \log \frac{n_t}{N}
\]

and... everyone else!

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:

https://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!

80% of the songs on my Spotify release radar today were OLD NEWS thanks to your list!

#ESNS2021 love

... It draws on inspiration from luscious 70s pop with touches of the dream-pop of Beach House, the otherworldly ethereal qualities of artists such as Weyes Blood and Sufjan Stevens and a nod to the chamber-pop of Cate Le Bon. 2/2
