I know what you’re thinking. What is SIGIR?
IGIR is the major international forum for the presentation of new research results and the demonstration of new systems and techniques in the field of information retrieval.
Nokia has chosen to be a bronze sponsor.
Why am I bringing this up? Look who else is sponsoring the event in the right hand column.
Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, Ask, IBM Research, SAP; Nokia really is becoming an Internet company.
