Me since the beginning of my PhD thesis

I believe conferences should have a "telepresence chair". #CHI is getting there (and I expect them to)

Suzan Verberne discusses in-text citation extraction from patents. #sigir2019

Of 18 algorithms presented at top-level conferences only 7 could be reproduced with reasonable effort. 6 can often be outperformed with comparably simple heuristic. The last did not consistently outperform a well-tuned non-neural linear ranking method. https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.06902

Krisztian Balog's attempt to do fully transparent movie recommendation. Very interesting and original research:
