With some of us already en route home, the rest of #TeamUofG bids farewell to #SIGIR2025 & the beautiful city of Padova. We had a great week full of ideas, activities & connections. Thanks to the organisers for a fantastic conference! Until next time 🇮🇹 #GoodbyePadova #ByeSIGIR

Go to stall 091 if you want to check out the poster of this @ir_glasgow work by @DanielTian97 called "Am I on the Right Track?" #SIGIR2025 (done w/t @JinyuanF, @debforit, @mengzaiqiao and @craig_macdonald)

After @iadh’s keynote at the #sigir2025 FinIR workshop and @DanielTian97’s talk at the RAG workshop, our SIGIR journey winds down — time to enjoy the rest of the programme! But let’s not forget two more awards: Best SPC and PC Member Awards for our own @iadh and @debforit resp.

Now time for @ir_glasgow 's @DanielTian97 to present his impeccable QPP work "Am I on the Right Track?" at the IR-RAG Workshop #SIGIR2025 (work w/t @JinyuanF, @debforit, @mengzaiqiao and @craig_macdonald)

Now, time for the #SIGIR2025 Women in IR panel.

#SIGIR2025 Perspectives time with @krisztianbalog and "Rankers, Judges, and Assistants: Towards Understanding the Interplay of LLMs in Information Retrieval Evaluation"

I'm delighted to have received the SIGIR Early Career Researcher Award! Thanks to all my wonderful students, colleagues, and collaborators for their support and countless discussions about wild new ideas for the field. x.com/ir_glasgow/sta…

Huge congratulations to @macavaney on receiving the prestigious ACM SIGIR Early Career Researcher Award in the research category! This well-deserved recognition highlights the excellence & impact of his work in the IR community 👏🎉#sigir2025 Cc @GlasgowCS @UofGlasgow @ACMSIGIR

Starting Day 4 of #SIGIR2025 with the first iteration of "Low Resource Environments" and Chichewa IR.

While some of us are busy live-tweeting, many of our brilliant students and staff are actually doing the hard work—presenting awesome demos and posters in a busy #SIGIR2025. Go check them out!

How does retrieval impact on Agentic RAG? Let's see what predicted intermediate retrieval quality can tell us! Our IR-RAG@SIGIR'25 paper is on Arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2507.10411. #SIGIR2025 cc/ @JinyuanF @debforit @mengzaiqiao @craig_macdonald

Now in the #SIGIR2025 short paper session, @andreas_chari is presenting ‘Lost in Transliteration: Bridging the Script Gap in Neural IR’

Am I on the Right Track? What Can Predicted Query Performance Tell Us about the Search Behaviour of Agentic RAG @DanielTian97 et al. examine how query performance prediction can provide insights into the search behavior of agentic RAG systems. 📝arxiv.org/abs/2507.10411

Fascinating paper (and great slides) by @Julian_a42f9a in #SIGIR2025 Day 3.

Now it’s @MrParryParry presenting the reproducibility efforts of a large team of researchers in relation to the shelf life of test collections #sigir2025

Starting @ir_glasgow's #SIGIR2025 Day 2 talks with another illuminating recsys work of @asash with @craig_macdonald & @ntonellotto.

A magisterial keynote by Stephen Robertson to kick-start #SIGIR2025 Day 2.

Starting #SIGIR2025 with @macavaney and a tutorial on "Efficient In-Memory Inverted Indexes: Theory and Practice" @ir_glasgow

If you're at #SIGIR2025 and interested in CLIR and transliterations, come and check out my poster on Tuesday! I'll be presenting our paper (w/ @iadh and @macavaney): 'Lost in Transliteration: Bridging the Script Gap in Neural IR'. 🔗arxiv.org/abs/2505.08411

📢 We're off to #SIGIR2025 in Padova! A large contingent of our students & staff will be at the main conference + tutorials, workshops & #ICTIR2025. Let’s connect if you’re around! 🤝 Also: we're hiring in #FinTech — DM us if you're interested! #IR #Hiring #Research #ACMSIGIR
