AIM AND SCOPE
The aim of the Promise Winter School on information retrieval and information visualization is
to give participants a grounding in the core topics that constitute the multidisciplinary area of
multilingual and multimedia information retrieval. Other topics of the school will include
usability of systems, system evaluation, social media and several other related fields.
The school is a week-long event consisting of guest lectures from invited speakers who are
recognized experts in the field of information retrieval and information visulization.
The school mainly targets PhD and Master students but all other researchers or participation
from industry is welcome. Some scholarships are available and prizes are kept reasonable to allow
for a wide participation.
Time is also foreseen to get in contact with the experts and the participants are encouraged
to prepare a poster on their personal research project for a general poster session
during the first day.
