Report on the 3rd Dutch-Belgian Information Retrieval Workshop (DIR-2002)

摘要

All in all, the Third Dutch-Belgian Information Retrieval Workshop was a success. Attendance was a lot higher than was expected, as was the quality of the submissions. Maybe the large number of presentations demanded some perseverance of the attendants, but it also ensured a diverse view on the Dutch and Belgian IR scene. We can only advice all that are interested to keep an eye on the next DIR, which will be organized by the University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands).
