Call for Papers FIRE 2015: Seventh meeting of the Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation 4th - 6th December, DA-IICT, Gandhinagar Submission Deadline: August 25, 2015 Website: fire.irsi.res.in ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FIRE 2015 invites submissions of full and short papers in information retrieval, natural language processing and related domains. The 7th meeting of Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation 2015 will be held in Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology, Gandhinagar, India. Series of FIRE workshops were started in 2008 under the aegis of Information Retrieval Society of India, with the aim of building a South Asian counterpart for TREC, CLEF, INEX and NTCIR, and have since evolved continuously to meet the new challenges in multilingual information access. It has since expanded to include new domains like plagiarism detection, legal information access, mixed script information retrieval and spoken document retrieval to name a few. This year's edition of FIRE will show a marked departure from its status as an evaluation workshop for South Asian languages. FIRE 2015 while continuing its traditional evaluation activities, will for the first time introduce a peer-reviewed conference track. ACM DL will publish the conference proceedings, and the workshop proceedings will be published by CEUR-WS. We are happy to announce that like past couple of years FIRE is supported by ACM and is now an ACM in-cooperation event. --------- Topics --------- Relevant topics for FIRE 2015 include, but are not limited to: Information Retrieval Multilingual and cross-lingual information access Domain specific Information Access Natural Language Processing Interactive Information Retrieval / Human Computer Interaction Computational Linguistics Semantic Web Other related fields (Social media analysis, Digital Library, Enterprise search, etc.) ------------------------- Invited Speakers ------------------------- Following Speakers have agreed to give an Invited talk at FIRE 2015: Bimal K Roy, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata Charles L.
