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. – at Melbourne, Victoria

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 our🥉#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 🏆.

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 𝜅 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.
