CALL FOR DEMO SESSION
  FIRE 2014
(Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation)
 Workshop
 Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore
 5-7 December 2014

 http://www.isical.ac.in/~fire

The success of TREC, CLEF, and NTCIR has clearly established the importance
of building reusable, large-scale standard test collections in Information
Access research. The Forum for Information Retrieval Evaluation (FIRE)
follows in the footsteps of TREC, CLEF and NTCIR with the following aims:
* to encourage research in South Asian language Information Access
technologies by providing appropriate test collections;
* to explore new Information Retrieval / Access tasks that arise as our
information needs evolve, and new needs emerge.

Demo Session:

The Conference and Program Chairs invite all those working in areas related
to IR and Semantic Web to submit original proposals for demonstrations.
Demonstrations present first-hand experience with research prototypes or
operational systems. They provide opportunities to exchange ideas gained
from implementing IR systems, and to obtain feedback from expert users. The
demonstration submission should address the following questions: Who is my
target user? Why does my system exist and why is it important? What does my
demonstration do and how does it work? How does it compare with existing
systems? Finally, how and when might my technology have an impact?

Demo may be of the following kinds (not limited to):

1. Named Entity Recognition in Indian Languages
2. POS Tagger in Indian Languages
3. Chunker/Parser in Indian Languages
4. Lexico-Syntactic Pattern Mining tool
5. Word Sense Disambiguation tool
6. Domain-specific Retrieval System (legal, bio-medical, etc.)
7. Community Question Answering tools
8. Cross-lingual IR tools
9. Knowledge Representation/Discovery tools
10. Linked Open Data tools
11. Evaluation system

It is highly recommended that all tools be developed as
GATE/Terrier/Protege plug-in. Wireless network access, along with a table
and poster mount backdrop, will be provided for accepted demonstrations.

Selected papers will be published in the Workshop Proceedings in ACM
Digital Library and can be presented during the Workshop.

SUBMISSION:

DEMO: Submissions of demonstration papers must be in English and should not
exceed 3 pages in ACM SIGIR 2-column format (including references and
figures). 2 pages are allowed to address the questions above. A further 1
page may be used to describe demo requirements (although we cannot
guarantee all requests will be met). Suitable LaTeX and Word templates are
available from the ACM Website:
http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates (for LaTeX, use
Option 2).  The only accepted format for submissions is PDF. Demo papers
must be submitted electronically using EasyChair (
https://easychair.org/conferences/submission_new.cgi?a=7277846
<https://easychair.org/conferences/submission_show_all.cgi?a=7259739>).

Beside this the authors will be needed to submit the working prototype
before the conference. This can be done after the review notification
alongwith camera ready submission. Detailed instructions for submission of
code will be made available on the website soon (please subscribe to FIRE
Google group (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/fire-list) for future
notification). Also in case of the accepted papers it is compulsory to
provide proper detailed documentation while submitting the code. Working
prototypes without proper documentation are liable to be rejected.

Author identity should be concealed (please omit author names and
affiliations from the initial submission). Submissions that are over the
3-page (2+1) limit or are not anonymous will be rejected without review.
Note that shorter version of full papers that have already been published
elsewhere (including in another language) are not acceptable as submissions
for FIRE. Accepted demonstration submissions will appear in the FIRE
conference proceedings and will be indexed by ACM digital library, for
which at least one author of each accepted demonstration must register and
attend the conference.  Please note that it is the responsibility of the
authors to ensure that the PDF submission has been uploaded successfully
(we suggest that you try downloading your paper again yourself, to check).

IMPORTANT DATES:
Submission deadline: September 30, 2014
Review notification: October 31, 2014
Camera-ready due:  15 November, 2014
Workshop: 5 - 7 December, 2014.
