Congratulations Jeff Dalton!

trec_eval needs and upgrade. When working with multiple rewrites on TREC Conversational Assistance Track you can only evaluate a single query at a time due to duplicate q-ids. Anyone using alternatives for Information Retrieval evaluation?

Monday 8th, March, 3 pm GMT time, Prof. Faegheh Hasibi (Faegheh Hasibi) from Radboud University will be giving an online seminar UofG Computing Science entitled "Entity Linking in Documents and Conversation". Event details at samoa.dcs.gla.ac.uk/events/viewtal…

Neural networks will only pay attention and learn something if you give them a reason to. Generalising abststactions included.

Fantastic "CODEC: COmplex Document and Entity Collection" was accepted as a resource paper at #SIGIR2022 w/ Paul @aquaktus SophieFischer Sean MacAvaney Jeff Dalton. CODEC supports research on essay-style topics + entity-centric retrieval. University of Glasgow UoG IDA Section, Glasgow CS @SIGIRCon

Pleased to release SIGIR 2025 preprint and dataset for CODEC: Complex Document and Entity Collection w/ Paul @aquaktus Sophie Fischer Sean MacAvaney Jeff Dalton. This work supports entity-centric ranking on 42 complex essay-style topics (history, economics, politics). University of Glasgow

We’re super excited to announce the GRILL (GRILL Lab) team from UofG Computing Science wins the first #AlexaPrize Taskbot challenge! Details: grilllab.ai/2022-05-15-ale… Amazon Science Congrats @aquaktus Federico Rossetto Iain Mackie Paul Sophie Fischer, advisor Jeff Dalton.

Was lovely to present our work done at the GRILL Lab

Really proud of our work! With CODEC data we find entities are key to answering complex queries (even simple query expansion improves 3% MAP). Can’t wait to answer questions and discuss. Come say hi! #SIGIR2022

Check out the preprint and dataset for my masters thesis titled VILT, which I’ll present at #IMuR22 as part of ACM Multimedia next month together w/ Carlos Gemmell Iain Mackie and Jeff Dalton 1/2

Let the fun begin!

Awesome experience placing 2nd in this year’s Amazon Science #AlexaPrize TaskBot Challenge! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*.✧ GRILL Lab pushing the boundaries of LLMs in the real world. Details below.

Our Source2Synth paper is out, great work everyone Alisia Lupidi , Carlos Gemmell , Nicola Cancedda , @JaneDwivedi , Jason Weston , Jakob Foerster and Roberta Raileanu !
