Today I had the pleasure to talk about child-safe search at #ECIR2025. We created an cranfield-style evaluation dataset to contrast relevance with harm in web search scenarios.

The Workshop on Open Web Search just finished #WOWS2025 #ECIR2025.
It was a very cool experience with many interesting talks. Lets hope we can do it again next year at #ECIR2026 in Delft :)
The Workshop on Open Web Search at #ECIR2025 just starts with a keynote by Charlie Clarke on Annotative Indexing. #WOWS25 #WOWS2025 #ECIR25
Now we have Ferdinand Schlatt on the #ECIR2025 stage predenting the research on the Set-Encoder.
The paper is online at: https://webis.de/publications.html#schlatt_2025b
An cool example of the Circle of Research at #ECIR2025 (or was it the Circle of Life?):
Yesterday, I saw Ronak presenting research to Ferdi, today it was the other way around :)
I was very happy to talk about corpus subsampling at #ECIR2025 today.
Please find the paper at https://webis.de/publications.html#froebe_2025c
And lat bur not least, here are some of my favorite impressions of the first day of ECIR :)
The panel in the #LLM4Eval2025 workshop just started. #WSDM2025

View from the Qwant headquarters, where we meet to discuss the route to European sovereignty in search.
Very exciting (even if missing out on the chance to join the uni strike in Nijmegen today - luckily many colleagues do).

2nd International Workshop on Open Web Search: Call for Participation
We invite you to participate in the ECIR 2025 Workshop on Open Web Search.
Since much of the web search technology stack is closed source, and many even basic pieces of technology for building a scalable web search engine are missing, the WOWS workshop aims to promote, discuss, and develop an open web search ecosystem.

@djoerd cool idea! The ir_datasets cli has an doc_fifo command that creates a jsonl fifo pipe that might work out of the box without the need to persist the data to disk?

We are at #SIGIRAP2024 today! Get one of our flyers at the registration desk or talk to our editors during the coffee breaks.
