Loved this #sigirap2024 talk from @841io. Often wondered if alternatives to the arithmetic mean were worth using, I got my positive answer in this talk.

Slides of the talk I gave at the @ACMSIGIR_AP #sigirap2024 #naarm #melbourne satellite on decolonising IR research: damianospina.com/talk/202412… I wished we had more time for a discussion, but it was great to see Katya Khramtsova acknowledging Country at the start of her talk today.

Great job @SachinPC10 presenting at the @AcmIcmi #icmi2024 conference in the amazing Costa Rica 🦜 This collaboration with @UjLaw and @TUDelft_AI started with Ujwal’s visit to @AdmsCentre followed by Sachin’s research stay in Delft as part of my @arc_gov_au DECRA @RMITComputing
Was an amazing experience presenting ourπŸ₯‰#BlueSky paper. Thank you everyone, for the inspiring questions and new ideas on #multimodal approaches to tackle #misinformation in #podcasts. @UjLaw @damiano10 Thank you, Organizers and CCC for the Award πŸ†. #icmi2024

Many congratulations to @BlinovaValeriia who has (subject to the usual corrections) passed her PhD. Valeriia won best paper awards at CIKM and SIGIR and working with an @RMITComputing undergratuate student she published a full paper at ACL. Incredible work Valeriia!

The Baby Yoda paper is out. @Marwah_k tests the limits of LLM relevance assessment to find that all is not well with LLM QRELs. Some language models mistake query word overlap for relevance a little too often. marwahalaofi.com/files/alaof… @RMITComputing @AdmsCentre

Will GPT-4 label this paper as relevant to the query "Baby Yoda"? In this study with @IR_oldie, @pt_ir and F. Scholer, we found that despite good performance in aggregate, e.g. human-like measures of Cohen’s πœ… and Krippendorff’s 𝛼, competitive LLMs are likely to be influenced by the presence of query words in the labelled passages, even if those passages are constructed from random words.
