Le rapport du #SIGIR offre ainsi un éclairage rare sur l’une des reconstructions les plus complexes et controversées de l’histoire récente. C’est le même hold-up qu’ils préparent pour le #Venezuela. #Shanna_Messaoudi

Le rapport recense également des cas de surfacturations extrêmes, ainsi que des infrastructures entièrement financées, mais jamais achevées. Le #SIGIR souligne que ces défauts de contrôle n’ont pas concerné uniquement l’argent du pétrole #Irakien.

Pourtant, au fil des années, les audits ont révélé une gestion instable, opaque, et des milliards de dollars impossibles à retracer. Pour analyser cette situation, la vidéo s’appuie sur le rapport final du #SIGIR, l’Inspecteur général #Américain chargé d’évaluer la reconstruction de #l’Irak.

I don't really understand why #SIGIR selected the US for 2027. Seems like a really bad idea given the current situation in the US. They even had an alternative Toronto bid!!

We are at #SIGIR2025 in Padua, Italy this week. Talk to our editors at the coffee breaks. #SIGIR

The #SIGIR2025 conference is asking volunteers to present papers of random researchers that cannot present. If you cannot attend, your paper will be presented by someone else. There will be no on-line presentations.

I am disappointed by the total absence of possibilities to present on-line. We got a lot of experience organizing on-line events during Covid-19 times: Why is #SIGIR trowing that all away?

Incredibly excited to join #SIGIR 2025 in July. Hope to see you all in Italy and talk about information retrieval.
