The Eighth Asia Information Retrieval Societies Conference (AIRS2012)
17-19 December 2012, Tianjin, P. R. China http://airs2012.tju.edu.cn(http://airs2012.tju.edu.cn/) == Call for Papers == The Asia Information Retrieval Societies Conference (AIRS) aims to bring together researchers and developers to exchange new ideas and latest developments in the field of information retrieval (IR). More detailed information about past AIRS conferences can be found at AIRS Steering Committee page (http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/groups/airs/). The scope of the conference covers applications, systems, technologies and theoretical aspects of information retrieval in text, audio, image, video, and multimedia data. The AIRS 2012 welcomes submissions of original papers in the broad field of information retrieval. We particularly welcome papers on IR for Asian languages. -- Topics -- Technical issues covered include, but are not limited to the following: 1. IR Models and Theories (Classical and non-Classical Aspects) 2. User Study, IR Evaluation, and Interactive IR 3. Web IR, Scalability IR, and IR in Social Media 4. Multimedia IR 5. NLP for IR (e.g., Cross-/Multi- Language IR, Question Answering, Summarization, Information Extraction) 6. Machine Learning and Data Mining for IR (e.g., Learning to Rank, Classification, Clustering) 7. IR Applications (e.g., Cross Language IR, Asian Language IR, Digital Libraries, Vertical Search, Mobile IR and etc.) -- Submission -- The AIRS 2012 proceedings will be published as an LNCS volume, which will be EI-indexed. To submit a paper, please follow the default author instructions available at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0 . In addition, please anonymize your paper to facilitate blind reviewing, and make sure your paper is no longer than 12 pages in the LNCS format. Submissions that do not follow these guidelines will be rejected unconditionally. Duplicate submissions (the same paper being submitted to AIRS 2012 and to another conference at the same time) are strictly forbidden; if detected, these submissions will be unconditionally rejected. The submission system is coming soon! -- Important Dates -- Submission Due: 15 Jul 2012 Notification of Acceptance: 31 Aug 2012 Camera-ready Due: 30 Sep 2012 AIRS2012: 17-19 Dec 2012 -- Organizing Committee -- General Co-Chairs Yuexian Hou (TianjinUniversity, China) Le Sun (Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences) Program Committee Chair Jianyun Nie (University of Montreal, Canada) Local Organization Chair Ruiguo Yu (Tianjin University, China) Industry Track Chair Bin Wang (Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China) Publicity Chair Bo Wang (Tianjin University, China) Proceedings Chair Peng Zhang (Robert Gordon University, UK) -- Area Chairs -- 1.
