The advent of deep machine learning platforms such as Tensorflow and Pytorch, developed in expressive high-level languages such as Python, have allowed more expressive representations of deep neural network architectures. We argue that such…
Software Engineering activities are information intensive. Research proposes Information Retrieval (IR) techniques to support engineers in their daily tasks, such as establishing and maintaining traceability links, fault identification, and…
Modern intelligent systems researchers employ the scientific method: they form hypotheses about system behavior, and then run experiments using one or more independent variables to test their hypotheses. We present SIERRA, a novel framework…
Modern intelligent systems researchers form hypotheses about system behavior and then run experiments using one or more independent variables to test their hypotheses. We present SIERRA, a novel framework structured around that idea for…
Users increasingly expect modern search systems to offer a unified interface that seamlessly retrieves information from diverse data sources and formats. However, current information retrieval (IR) evaluation benchmarks have not kept pace…
Technology-assisted review (TAR) is an important industrial application of information retrieval (IR) and machine learning (ML). While a small TAR research community exists, the complexity of TAR software and workflows is a major barrier to…
This paper proposes two new open-source iris recognition algorithms, providing both Python and IREX-compliant C++ implementations to be submitted to the official IREX X program. This work has two primary goals: (a) to conduct the first-ever…
PyTerrier provides a declarative framework for building and experimenting with Information Retrieval (IR) pipelines. In this demonstration, we highlight several recent pipeline operations that improve their ability to be programmatically…
Modern information retrieval systems often rely on multiple components executed in a pipeline. In a research setting, this can lead to substantial redundant computations (e.g., retrieving the same query multiple times for evaluating…
This paper presents TIRA, a Matlab library gathering several methods for the computation of interval over-approximations of the reachable sets for both continuous- and discrete-time nonlinear systems. Unlike other existing tools, the main…
Information seeking on mobile devices is often fragmented, trapping users in repetitive cycles of context switching and data re-entry, which increases cognitive load and disrupts workflow. Existing mobile agents provide limited cross-source…
We propose to use MapReduce to quickly test new retrieval approaches on a cluster of machines by sequentially scanning all documents. We present a small case study in which we use a cluster of 15 low cost ma- chines to search a web crawl of…
Information Retriever (IR) aims to find the relevant documents (e.g. snippets, passages, and articles) to a given query at large scale. IR plays an important role in many tasks such as open domain question answering and dialogue systems,…
OpenIIR runs hundreds of LLM-driven personas as parameterised, reproducible IR research experiments. Researchers configure agents across four kinds of multi-agent study (deliberative panels, social platforms, curated recommender feeds, and…
Despite the substantial success of Information Retrieval (IR) in various NLP tasks, most IR systems predominantly handle queries and corpora in natural language, neglecting the domain of code retrieval. Code retrieval is critically…
Radiomics enables the extraction of quantitative biomarkers from medical images for precision modeling, but reproducibility and scalability remain limited due to heterogeneous software implementations and incomplete adherence to standards.…
In production applications of recommender systems, a continuous data flow is employed to update models in real-time. Many recommender models often require complete retraining to adapt to new data. In this work, we introduce a novel…
The third Information Retrieval Education through EXperimentation track (EIREX 2012) was run at the University Carlos III of Madrid, during the 2012 spring semester. EIREX 2012 is the third in a series of experiments designed to foster new…
To evaluate Information Retrieval (IR) effectiveness, a possible approach is to use test collections, which are composed of a collection of documents, a set of description of information needs (called topics), and a set of relevant…
The TERRE-ISTEX project aims to identify scientific research dealing with specific geographical territories areas based on heterogeneous digital content available in scientific papers. The project is divided into three main work packages:…
