I’m at ECIR (which just concluded) right now. People were abuzz with SIGIR poster notification. Most folks I talked to reinforced the increasing competition for the poster session; i.e. lots of rejections, only two accepts that I heard of.
More on ECIR to come…
Here’s my accepted poster:
“It Pays to be Picky: An Evaluation of Thread Retrieval in Online Forums”

Mine was rejected without many details in the reviews. I really think that top conferences should provide top quality reviews. This was not the case.
Giridhar Kumaran and I have a paper accepted: “Reducing Long Queries Using Query Quality Predictors”. More details soon.
