CALL FOR PAPERS

SIGIR is the major international forum for the presentation of new
research results and for the demonstration of new systems and techniques
in the broad field of information retrieval (IR). The Conference and
Program Chairs invite all those working in areas related to IR to submit
original full papers, short papers, and proposals for tutorials,
workshops, and demonstrations of systems. SIGIR 2013 welcomes
contributions related to any aspect of IR theory and foundation,
techniques, and applications. Relevant topics include, but are not limited
to: 

-Document Representation and Content Analysis (e.g., text representation,
document structure, linguistic analysis, multi-lingual IR, cross-lingual
IR, NLP for IR, information extraction, sentiment analysis, clustering,
classification, topic models, facets, text streams)
-Queries and Query Analysis (e.g., query representation, query suggestion,
query reformulation, query intent, conversational search, query log
analysis, session analysis, question answering)
-Users and Interactive IR (e.g., user models, user studies, user feedback,
search interface, summarization, task models, personalized search)
-Retrieval Models and Ranking (e.g., IR theory, language models,
probabilistic retrieval models, feature-based models, learning to rank,
combining searches, diversity)
-Search Engine Architectures and Scalability ( e.g., indexing,
compression, distributed IR, P2P IR, mobile devices)
-Filtering and Recommending (e.g., content-based filtering, collaborative
filtering, recommender systems, profiles)
-Evaluation (e.g., test collections, effectiveness measures, experimental
design) 
-Web IR and Social Media Search (e.g., link analysis, click
models/behavioural modelling, social tagging, social network analysis,
advertising and search, blog search, microblog search, forum search,
community-based QA (CQA), adversarial IR, vertical and local search)
-IR and Structured Data (e.g., XML search, ranking in databases, desktop
search, entity search)
-Multimedia IR (e.g., image search, video search, speech/audio search,
music IR) 
-Other Applications (e.g., digital libraries, enterprise search, genomics
IR, legal IR, patent search, text reuse)
