Third International Conference on the Theory of Information Retrieval, Bertinoro, Italy
12 September 2011 - 12 September 2011
Italy
The Third International Conference on the Theory of Information Retrieval will take place from 12 to 14 September 2011 in Bertinoro, Italy.
Information retrieval (IR) is the science of searching for documents and information or metadata that might be contained in them. Originally based in the library sciences, information retrieval is now moving beyond mathematics and linguistics into challenging new areas such as physics, philosophy, sociology and biology.
Internet search engines are the most visible IR application. This kind of technology is also widely used by institutions and public entities to provide access to high-volume consumers of information.
The event will seek to present, discuss, analyse and integrate new theoretical results in IR. It will also highlight new theoretical, experimental and practical approaches coming from mathematics, physics, linguistics, biology, philosophy and other areas.For further information, please visit: http://www.ictir11.org/(opens in new window)
