My first day at the University of Wolverhampton after so many interesting years at the University of Bedfordshire. Excited about new opportunities, colleagues and students!

We put together a Scientometrics special issue on Scholarly literature mining with information retrieval and natural language processing, which is available now. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11192-020-03763-4

We had a nice BIRDS 2020 workshop at SIGIR 2020 this summer and now the proceedings are finally online - http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2741/.

BCS Search Solutions also has a tutorial (Nov 24) on Reinforcement Learning for Information Retrieval by Alexander Kuhnle, Miguel Aroca-Ouellette, John Reid and Dell Zhang - https://irsg.bcs.org/SearchSolutions/2020/ss2020tutorials.php

Reminder: BCS Search Solutions plus tutorials takes place Nov 24 (tutorials) and Nov 25 (main event). More info, the programme plus registration at https://irsg.bcs.org/SearchSolutions/2020/sse2020.php and https://irsg.bcs.org/SearchSolutions/2020/ss2020tutorials.php. Our speakers are: Elaine Toms, David Maxwell, Paul Cleverley, Paul Levay, Charlie Hull, Agnes Molar, Marianne Sweeny, Michael Bendersky, Tony Russell-Rose, Jeremy Pickens and Ricardo Baeza-Yates.

Looks like another nice podcast for my longer runs. https://open.spotify.com/episode/3KzV8bbroDqGFDHdXk9zmf #fairAI bias

Innovations in Search & Information Retrieval - our BCS Search Solutions 2020 event will be fully online on November 25. Have a look at the list of talks from industry and academia (https://irsg.bcs.org/SearchSolutions/2020/sse2020.php). We also offer a tutorial programme on November 24 (https://irsg.bcs.org/SearchSolutions/2020/ss2020tutorials.php). Would be great to see you!

UK citizens, we need to ensure the UK's continued participation in Horizon Europe and Erasmus. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/553022

Had a nice chat with our Innovation & Enterprise team the other day about Information Retrieval, life, the universe and everything. Our university RadioLab had the brilliant idea to even broadcast it. The interview is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kIHTD03Hfo

We are bridging the gap between Data Science, Information Science and Information Retrieval tomorrow at our BIRDS workshop at #SIGIR2020. Join us online! More info on our homepage https://birds-ws.github.io/birds2020/index.html.

How can Information Retrieval, Information Science and Data Science get together to address today's challenges? Our BIRDS online workshop at SIGIR 2020 will look at this. Many interesting talks plus keynotes by Nick Belkin & Carlos Castillo and invited talks by Riccardo Guidotti & Xi Niu. Join us on July 30! https://birds-ws.github.io/birds2020/ #SIGIR2020
