34th European Conference on Information Retrieval

Tutorials

The European Conference on Information Retrieval provides an opportunity for both new and established researchers to present research papers reporting new, unpublished, and innovative research results within information retrieval. Proposals are invited for tutorials of either a half-day (3 hours plus breaks) or full day (6 hours plus breaks) on all topics of information retrieval and its applications. Each tutorial should cover a single topic in detail on state-of-the-art methods in core information retrieval, related research or novel and emerging applications. The tutorials will take place at the conference venue, specifically in the Ciutadella campus of the Pompeu Fabra University (UPF) (Ramon Trias Fargas Street, 25-27, 08005 Barcelona).
