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!

Declarative Amsterdam:
A symposium

When: October 4th 2019
Where: CWI - Turing room
Attendance: Free with registration

https://homepages.cwi.nl/~steven/declarative/

Declarative programming is a new approach to applications. Rather than describing exactly how to reach the solution, it describes what the solution should look like, and leaves more of the administrative parts of the program to the computer.

For registration: https://www.cwi.nl/research/groups/distributed-and-interactive-systems/events/declarative-amsterdam/event
