FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

SIGIR is the major international forum for the presentation of
new research results and for the demonstration of new systems and
techniques in the broad field of information retrieval (IR). The
Conference and Program Chairs invite all those working in areas
related to IR to submit original papers, posters, and proposals
for tutorials, workshops, and demonstrations of systems. SIGIR
2012 welcomes contributions related to any aspect of IR theory
and foundation, techniques, and applications. Relevant topics
include, but are not limited to:

    Document Representation and Content Analysis (e.g., text
    representation, document structure, linguistic analysis,
    non-English IR, cross-lingual IR, information extraction,
    sentiment analysis, clustering, classification, topic models,
    facets) Queries and Query Analysis (e.g., query
    representation, query intent, query log analysis, question
    answering, query suggestion, query reformulation) Users and
    Interactive IR (e.g., user models, user studies, user
    feedback, search interface, summarization, task models, query
    logs, personalized search) Retrieval Models and Ranking
    (e.g., IR theory, language models, probabilistic retrieval
    models, feature-based models, learning to rank, combining
    searches, diversity) Search Engine Architectures and
    Scalability ( e.g., indexing, compression, MapReduce,
    distributed IR, P2P IR, mobile devices) Filtering and
    Recommending (e.g., content-based filtering, collaborative
    filtering, recommender systems, profiles) Evaluation (e.g.,
    test collections, effectiveness measures, experimental
    design) Web IR and Social Media Search (e.g., link analysis,
    social tagging, social network analysis, advertising and
    search, blog search, forum search, CQA, adversarial IR,
    vertical and local search) IR and Structured Data (e.g., XML
    search, ranking in databases, desktop search, entity search)
    Multimedia IR (e.g., Image search, video search, speech/audio
    search, music IR) Other Applications (e.g., digital
    libraries, enterprise search, genomics IR, legal IR, patent
    search, text reuse)

To maintain a reasonable acceptance rate in the face of growing
numbers of submissions, SIGIR 2012 will be exploring alternative
presentations for full papers. For example, depending on the
number of accepted full papers, the program committee may select
some of those papers to be presented as posters in a special
track according to the nature of the paper. This would be
different than the poster session for the late-breaking research
ideas, which will continue as in previous years.
