On Entities and EvaluationMonday, April 15, 09:30-10:30

In this presentation, I will address two broad topics, entities and evaluation, which have been the main focus of my research for the last decade or so. Over this period, we have witnessed entities becoming first-class citizens in many

information access scenarios. With this has also come an increased reliance on knowledge bases, which organize information about entities in a structured and semantically meaningful way. I will review progress made on two specific retrieval problems, entity retrieval and entity linking, and illustrate how these can be utilized as building blocks for solving more complex tasks. Further, I will highlight some open challenges that remain in this space.

The second part of the talk will concentrate on evaluation, which has been a central theme in IR since the inception of the field. For a long time, system-oriented evaluation has primarily been performed using offline test collections, following the Cranfield paradigm. While this rigorous methodology ensures the repeatability and reproducibility of

experiments, it is inherently limited by abstracting the actual user, to a large extent, away. I will argue for the (complementary) need of online evaluation. Specifically, I will introduce the „living labs“ evaluation methodology

along with past and present efforts to implement it as a collaborative R&D scheme.

The popularity of search engines on the World Wide Web is a testament to the broad impact of the work done by the information retrieval community over the last decades. The advances achieved by this community have not only made the World Wide Web more accessible, they have also made it appealing to consider the application of ranking algorithms to other domains, beyond the ranking of documents. One of the most interesting examples is the domain of ranking people. In this talk, I will first highlight some of the many challenges that come with deploying ranking

algorithms to individuals. I will then show how mechanisms that are perfectly fine to utilize when ranking documents can have undesired or even detrimental effects when ranking people. This talk intends to stimulate a discussion on the manifold, interdisciplinary challenges around the increasing adoption of ranking algorithms in

computational social systems.

„While, traditionally, the IR community has been focused on building systems that support a variety of applications and needs; it is becoming imperative that we focus as much on the human, social, and economic impact of these systems as we do on the underlying algorithms and systems. We argue that an IR system should be fair (e.g., a system should avoid discriminating across people), accountable (e.g, a system should be reliable and be able to justify the actions it takes), confidential (e.g., a system should not reveal secrets), and transparent (e.g., a system should be able to explain why results are returned).“

ECIR 2019 Dinner

Cologne Cathedral Tour Thursday 10:00 / 14:00 / 15:30 (1h) Meetingpoint: GESIS Foyer (20 minutes prior to your tour)

We invite you to a guided tour at the Cathedral (Kölner Dom). It is the

centre and hallmark of Cologne. Due to the building’s impressive gothic

architecture, the outstanding stained-glass windows, the shrine of the

Three Wise Men, and many other important works of art, UNESCO de-

clared the Cologne Cathedral a world heritage site in 1996.

Tuesday, April 16, 18:00-19:30 Meetingpoint: 17:45 In front of the main entrance of the Maternushaus

Join an exciting journey into Cologne’s past like Cologne’s old town with its distinctive historical charm and innumerable

breweries, pubs and restaurants. With sights like the Cologne Cathedral, the Romanesque church Great St. Martin and the

tower of the historic city hall there is a lot to discover. Afterwards you will be guided to the ECIR Dinner at the Museum

Ludwig.

Tuesday, April 16, 19:30-23:00 at Museum Ludwig Address: Heinrich-Böll-Platz, 50667 Cologne Come join us in the restaurant at the Museum Ludwig. With its

20th century and contemporary art it is today one of the most

important art museums in Europe. The restaurant offers products

from local and regional suppliers in North Rhine-Westphalia.

If you join the city tour prior to the dinner, your group guide will

directly lead you to the restaurant at 19:30.

Monday, April 15, 16:30-19:30 Meetingpoint: 16:00 Maternushaus Foyer Address: Rathausplatz 1, 50667 Cologne

The Welcome Reception will take place at the Consilium, also

called the „Spanish Building“ of the Cologne City Hall. This

modern and elegant restaurant is located in the heart of

Cologne‘s old town between Rhine, Cathedral and Heumarkt.
