Many congratulations to Valeriia Blinova who has (subject to the usual corrections) passed her PhD. Valeriia won best paper awards at CIKM and SIGIR and working with an RMIT School of Computing Technologies undergratuate student she published a full paper at ACL. Incredible work Valeriia!

Great job Sachin PC presenting at the ACM ICMI Official #icmi2024 conference in the amazing Costa Rica 🦜 This collaboration with Ujwal Gadiraju and TU Delft | AI Initiative started with Ujwal’s visit to @AdmsCentre followed by Sachin’s research stay in Delft as part of my Australian Research Council DECRA RMIT School of Computing Technologies

We can’t believe ICMI 2024 is over! We’re beyond grateful for its success and the strengthened connections within our community. We can’t wait to reunite in Canberra, Australia, in 2025. Stay tuned for more highlights and photos from ICMI 2024! #sigchi #acm #ICMI2024

So proud of #DrRieger, who successfully defended her #PhD today. Congrats @alisarieg ! 🎓

Starting Day 2 of #SIGIRAP2024 in Melbourne with a thought provoking talk on Generative IR evaluation by Mark Sanderson Tackling some controversial topics is a perfect way to re-energize after last night’s social mixer 😄 With a reference to yesterday's talk by Peter Bailey

Loved this #sigirap2024 talk from Fernando Diaz. Often wondered if alternatives to the arithmetic mean were worth using, I got my positive answer in this talk.

Amazing work by Marwah Alaofi w/ Paul Thomas Falk Scholer and Mark Sanderson at #SIGIRAP2024 🇯🇵
