Call for Papers (and Participation) THE SIGIR 2008 WORKSHOP ON FOCUSED RETRIEVAL: QUESTION ANSWERING, PASSAGE RETRIEVAL, ELEMENT RETRIEVAL Singapore, 24 July 2008 (part of SIGIR 2008) http://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/sigirfocus2008/ DETAILS Standard document retrieval finds atomic documents, and leaves it to the end-user to locate the relevant information inside the document. Focused retrieval removes this latter task from the end user by providing more direct access to relevant information. That is, focused retrieval addresses information retrieval and not simply document retrieval. Focused retrieval has been used to extract relevant sections from academic documents; and the application to text book searching is obvious (such commercial systems already exist). The purpose of this workshop is to raise issues and promote discussion on focused retrieval - that is, Question Answering (QA), Passage Retrieval, and Element Retrieval (XML-IR). Papers discussing focused retrieval and related issues are sought. Topics may include but are not limited to: Theory, Experimentation, Application, Interaction, and Experience. Please refer to the full call ( http://www.cs.otago.ac.nz/sigirfocus2008/ ) for further details. LOCATION The workshop was part of SIGIR 2008 in Singapore.
