Search Solutions is the BCS Information Retrieval Specialist Group’s annual forum focused on practitioner issues and latest innovations in the area of Search and Information Retrieval. Search Solutions 2020 will be an online event taking place on November 23, 2020.
Search Solutions will consist of invited talks, but we also invite proposals for 30-minute presentations (20-minute talk plus 10-minute Q&A) from practitioners and industry leaders. Your talk should focus on any area of the practical application of search technologies to real-world problems or on novel and emerging applications and topics in Search and Information Retrieval. If you want to discuss the challenges you tackle as well as their solutions or present your latest innovation, Search Solutions is the venue for you. Search Solutions is attended by students and practitioners from academia and industry alike.
Due to the COVID-19 situation, Search Solutions 2020 will be completely online, making it accessible for a worldwide audience. We will operate on a UK timezone.
