Lessons from Maarten de Rijke's award lecture: Focus on Safety (preventing information bubbles, mistreatment of subgroups, model drift) and Explicability (explaining of rankings, of fashion recommendations, of retrieved facts, if demoes going wrong). Challenge: evaluation of explanations; if people understand algorithms better, they'll trust them less...
... and get your inspiration from ancient Indian temples, whether in Amsterdam or not. #dir2018

Paul and I accepted the challenge to teach the next generation of IR enthusiasts here in Sheffield. The fun starts now
Glad to see that submissions for CHIIR'19 are pouring in. If you are thinking of submitting a demo or resources paper, this is just a wee reminder that there's still time until 21 October to work on your drafts http://sigir.org/chiir2019/calls.html

SIGIR will make all proceedings open access for all time, but this has not yet been completed.
The trick is that you cannot go through the DL, but need the so-called OpenTOC links - those will be providing access for unlimited time, the SIGIR Exec decided.
Eventually, you will find these links for all SIGIR conferences in a consistent way on the http://sigir.org site.
For now, for 2018, use this page for access to the papers: http://sigir.org/sigir2018/toc.html
More details on this workshop (including the registration link) can be found at https://ir.shef.ac.uk/bcs-sheffield-2018/

Safe the date: Meeting on Ethics, Privacy, Transparency and Bias in Information Retrieval to take place on 5 September 2018 in Sheffield. More details in the next few weeks.
