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!

Some day I may manage to recollect how this came by in a discussion on coversational search...

I guess you have to choose!

Greetings from Dagstuhl Conversational Search workshop!

Too many researchers out there to keep up with the flow! Reviewing for ECIR, WWW and CHIIR while checking EMNLP and CIKM streams and still having a stack to be read from SIGIR even!

Interesting graph - perceived vs. actual climate contributions for things we can all do.
