[AISWorld] Fifth Spanish Conference on Information Retrieval (CERI 2018) - Deadline Extension

[Sergio Ilarri]

Fifth Spanish Conference on Information Retrieval (CERI 2018)
25-27 June 2018 - Zaragoza, Spain
http://ceri2018.unizar.es

The Spanish Conference on Information Retrieval stems from the 
realization that a relevant research and business activity in the field 
has taken shape in Spain in the last few years, as is attested by the 
significant presence of Spanish researchers in the main scientific fora, 
and a raising corporate activity in the field. The Fifth Spanish 
Conference on Information Retrieval (CERI 2018) will be held at the 
Aragon Institute of Engineering Research of the University of Zaragoza, 
Spain, from 25th to 27th of June 2018: http://ceri2018.unizar.es.

The conference aims to be a meeting forum for researchers, 
practitioners, and teaching professionals with an interest for the 
Information Retrieval field, where an overview of the activity in the 
Information Retrieval community can be obtained, seeking to provide a 
get-together for discussion and progress of future initiatives towards 
the promotion of IR, especially in Spain.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

In CERI 2018, submissions are divided into two categories: long and 
short papers. Besides, it is also possible to submit extended abstracts.

* Long papers, submitted in PDF and written in English, must not exceed 
8 pages following the ACM SIG Proceedings Format and they will be 
presented at the scientific sessions of the conference.
* Short papers (posters) must not exceed 4 pages in the same format and 
will be exhibited and presented in a special poster session
* Extended abstracts containing descriptions of ongoing projects or 
summarizing already published relevant results. These contributions must 
not exceed 4 pages (2 pages is the recommended length for this type of 
contributions) in the same format and will be exhibited and presented in 
a special session.

CERI especially encourages PhD students and researchers in the early 
stage of their careers to submit their works. Also, contributions from 
industry will be considered.

Papers should be prepared according to the ACM “sigconf” proceedings 
template available at 
https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template (see 
sample-sigconf.tex if using the Latex template, or ACM_SigConf.docx if 
using the Word template).

All papers must be submitted as PDF files through the EasyChair online 
submission system (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ceri2018).

At least one author of each accepted work must register to the 
conference, by the date indicated by the organizers, and present her/his 
paper. Besides, all papers must be submitted in anonymized form. Thus, 
author names and organization, references, acknowledgements, and any 
other information that might allow to identify the authors should be 
removed from the initial submissions. Papers already published, accepted 
or under review in any other conference or journal will not be accepted. 
We also expect that authors will not submit their works to any other 
event during the reviewing period of CERI 2018. Regarding plagiarism 
considerations, ACM Plagiarism Policy will be applied.

All scientists interested in IR related fields are welcome to 
participate. We encourage national and international researchers from 
both academia and industry to submit original papers, written either in 
Spanish or English, related to any aspect of IR including, but not 
limited to the following:

-IR models
-Performance, scalability, architectures and efficiency
-Data structures on IR
-Web IR
-IR Quality Evaluation
-User aspects: interaction, user studies and interfaces
-Filtering and recommendation systems
-Structured retrieval (XML, etc.)
-Semantic search
-Digital libraries
-IR in social networks
-Opinion mining
-Vandalism detection (in the Web or Wikipedia) and opinion spam
-Detection of pedophilia, stalking and bullying
-Multimedia retrieval
-Text mining (e.g., classification and clustering of documents)
-Natural Language Processing in IR
-Passage Retrieval and Question Answering
-Multilingual and cross-language IR
-IR in specific domains (biomedical, patents, law, etc.)
-Geographical IR
-Collaborative IR

All accepted works will be published in the proceedings of the conference.
