🎄 PyTerrier Advent 24/25: Removing low-quality docs can boost search quality and cut indexing costs. Our SIGIR’24 paper QT5 trains a T5 model to filter passages at indexing time—easy to integrate, and works with dense, PISA, or SPLADE indexers too.
🎄PyTerrier Advent 3/25: Now for very recent LLM-based approaches! PyTerrier is extensible through its strong ecosystem of plugins, like PyTerrier_GenRank by @KaustubhDhole at Emory Univ USA, which allows to use generative rerankers such as RankLLama...

We’ll kick it off with *the* baseline: BM25 on MSMARCO. One line to download a pre-built index, one line to make a BM25 retriever, one line to search.
RA job in @ir_glasgow on an EU Horizon project, with @iadh@richardm_ and myself, on the use of LLMs in developing AI agents for the risk and ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) assessment of sustainability-focused green investment projects. 👇
Great to see @fd301 and Emma Li from @GlasgowCS leading the inaugural Women in Distributed Data Systems panel at #ICDCS2025 — a fantastic new initiative to promote diversity and broaden participation at the conference. #WiDCS

It’s now the turn of our Local Organisation Chair @shamapp to present at the Distributed Computing Systems for Smart Logistrics #DCSSL2025 workshop #icdcs2025
A strong turnout and an attentive audience for @mengzaiqiao’s presentation at the #ICDCS2025 tutorial on Integrating Knowledge Graphs into Large Language Models. Great to see such strong interest in this important topic! Pictures by @iadh
A lively start to #ICDCS2025 this morning with tutorials and workshops in full swing. Delegates were warmly welcomed with a proper Scottish breakfast — including Lorne sausage, of course!
Shoutout to the superheroes (aka volunteers 🦸♀️🦸♂️) getting things ready for #ICDCS2025! From cables to coffee, they are making the magic happen 💻☕🛠️ See you all tomorrow in Glasgow!
Back from an inspiring #SIGIR2025 in Padova — and diving straight into final preparations for #ICDCS2025 in Glasgow. Workshops and tutorials kick off tomorrow!
With some of us already en route home, the rest of #TeamUofG bids farewell to #SIGIR2025 & the beautiful city of Padova. We had a great week full of ideas, activities & connections. Thanks to the organisers for a fantastic conference! Until next time 🇮🇹 #GoodbyePadova#ByeSIGIR
Starting the day at #SIGIR2025 FinIR Workshop with a lively keynote presentation by @iadh:
