Neural methods in information retrieval with Maarten de Rijke

Papers We Love Paris & Criteo Research are honored to have Dr. Maarten de Rijke, one of the world’s leading experts in information retrieval to inaugurate our Distinguished Lecture Series.

About the talk

Several communities have enthusiastically embraced and innovated neural algorithms in recent years. Examples include computer vision, machine translation, natural language processing. The information retrieval community is probably one of the next communities to jump on this train.
In the talk Martin will discuss this ongoing trend, highlighting recent work on neural methods for text similarity, ad hoc retrieval, and predicting and modeling information interaction behavior (such as clicks and dwell time).
The talk is based on joint work with Alexey Borisov, Evangelos Kanoulas, Tom Kenter, Ilya Markov, Pavel Serdyukov, Christophe Van Gysel.
