SEARCH SOLUTIONS 2024
Wednesday 27 November 2024, London
Innovations in Search and Information Retrieval
Search Solutions is the BCS Information Retrieval Specialist Group’s (BCS IRSG) annual event focused on practitioner issues in the arena of search and information retrieval (IR). In contrast to other major industry events, Search Solutions aims to be highly interactive, with attendance strictly limited. We bring together practitioners, researchers, analysts and end users to discuss the latest developments in the IR community and to share insights between research and practice. It is a unique opportunity to bring together academic research and practitioner experience.
The Search Solutions event consists of a Tutorial day (26 November) and a Conference day (27 November), each of which has a separate registration.
The main programme includes presentations, panels and keynote talks by influential industry leaders on novel and emerging applications in search and information retrieval.
CONFIRMED SPEAKERS (MORE TO COME)
* Dyaa Albakour, SIGNAL AI, “Mapping the landscape of narratives in Global Media” * Alessandro Benedetti, Sease, “What I don’t like about RAG: can we do better?” * Charlie Hull, OpenSource Connections, “Measure and Tune your Search with User Behaviour Insights” * Maria-Inti Metzendorf, Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, “Searching for Living Systematic Reviews – overview and case report” * Eugene Morozov, ISKO, "Search and Browse Use Cases in Data Governance" * Daniel Tunkelang, Search Consultant & Aritra Mandal, eBay, "Modeling Queries as Bags of Documents"
