Welcome to Probably Irrelevant

IR is far, far more than a branch of computer science, concerned primarily with issues of algorithms, computers, and computing.

Probably Irrelevant is a group blog on information retrieval and all things related. It serves as an open forum for IR research and development discussion. We aspire to have a wide range of IR researchers and practitioners contribute to the blog — from academia and industry, professors and students, evangelists and critics.
