[Corpora-List] Call for Participation: ECIR 2010 Industry Day

[Kruschwitz U]

ECIR 2010 Industry Day

Thursday 1st April 2010

The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK

We are pleased to announce the European Conference on Information
Retrieval (ECIR) 2010 Industry Day. This event takes place the day after
the main ECIR programme closes and so it is a unique chance to meet and
share ideas with a broad mix of retrieval experts from both industry and
academia. We have a great list of speakers who will present the latest
challenges faced by practitioners of IR, in both enterprise and web
search. We are  excited that this year we have some talks on
applications of semantic analysis which is considered to be a rapidly
maturing academic field, now ripe for wider adoption in the marketplace.
The event should appeal to students, academics, industrial researchers,
designers, and developers alike.
