if you let me in July 2007 in the Netherlands Amsterdam 30th SIGIR Conference (International computer Association General Assembly of the international information retrieval) plus a few key words, then I will give out three: Amsterdam, China, sort learning (Learningto Rank).
"Information retrieval" and not to the special distinction of the Conference and General Assembly of the keywords in the past, because each session SIGIR is all about information retrieval.
Since 1978 the first session of the General Assembly at each session, SIGIR, since there will be from around the world in the information retrieval field scholars published, of the scholarship, and understanding.

"Internet search" is not a suitable description of the SIGIR's special keywords, although Internet search represents now the main applications in the field of SIGIR.
As early as three or four years ago, the Internet search has become the SIGIR focus. Past SIGIR is dominated by the academia (history, information retrieval application main field of interest is the library information retrieval). However, over the past few years, from industry papers more and more, more and more participants. SIGIR became an academic and industry Exchange event held every year. In the sense that research is a very exciting field.
We all know that computer science often have many interesting and challenging questions, but these problems are usually more difficult in most areas and can provide solution also from reality with a certain distance.
You can also have a number of areas, such as databases, information retrieval, in these areas of research and development of new technologies are often able to quickly go to practical application. This is why the attention by the industrial sector, SIGIR and industry to work closely together. We all know, the Internet search now is IT areas of traction industry. SIGIR unknowingly has become the darling of the times. These years, SIGIR is becoming more and more "fire", the number of people attending the General Assembly is also increasing. This year's SIGIR has 581 people attended a meeting of participants of the General Assembly. Microsoft Research Asia has six fellows and interns participated in the Conference.
"Microsoft," we cannot say that this is the session keyword, SIGIR's unique because it several years ago and the closely linked.
Institute since 2001, to participate in the SIGIR Conference, had accumulated 36 papers were adopted by the General Assembly. It is difficult to imagine that the Institute will in such a short time to create so many achievements in scientific research. In particular, in 2005 the Institute in the SIGIR 12 papers published, shocked the entire industry. This paper from the Research Institute there are 5 articles, conference papers total 85 article 5.88%. Over the past few years, the Institute has always been the SIGIR thesis number one. June SIGIR's authority, Professor Dr. specialized access Research Institute BruceCroft, want to know "What is going on at MSRA? (Institute of what happened?)," the mood is palpable.
Therefore, I think Amsterdam, China, the sort of learning is the most representative of the SIGIR characteristics of three keywords.
In my opinion, Amsterdam is the most suitable SIGIR.
Since the great navigation era, Amsterdam is a major international maritime port, Amsterdam airport is now the world's largest airport. Amsterdam is a canal transverse and longitudinal throughout the city. It is located in the city of the size of the bridge has 635 seat. In Amsterdam, you can see as in other European cities like teachHall, houses, bakeries, flower shop, bars, cafés, each building seems to have gone in to you tells the city from the 17th and 18th centuries of history. I have to say, the same is located at the edge of the city, London in Amsterdam not like nor grand style as mysterious as ancient Venice, but it more life, tolerance and generosity, free and open to the people. In the streets of Amsterdam, you can see all kinds of transport: bikes, horses, cars, trams Shuttle, and the Canal of cruise ships, ferries chimed in. Because the traffic is developed, make people feel the history of Amsterdam is a hub for information gathering. In this city to participate in the information retrieval of related academic conferences does have a unique feel. Amsterdam city of incumbent Mayor visit SIGIR welcome dinner (Reception), embodies the emphasis on SIGIR.
China, Chinese people's participation is the SIGIR another characteristic of the General Assembly.
China this time the meeting was attended, apart from Microsoft Research Asia, Academy of science, Tsinghua University, Beijing University, Zhejiang University and Baidu, and other agency representatives, the history of the SIGIR is unprecedented. In addition to the Research Institute of 5 papers, there are from Beijing University and Qinghua. From the total number of papers published at present, China is the third major SIGIR, and its growth rate is the fastest. It's like and China's gross national product (GNP) of the global ranking. In addition, the Conference Organizer summarizes the SIGIR papers up to scholars. There are many Chinese name: Microsoft Research Asia's Dr, mawei Ying Chen, Ph.d., Illinois champagne campus Dr Zhai chengxiang. Visible, the Chinese people in SIGIR Conference sound more and more, as in the reception dinner, Mayor of Amsterdam with Britain, France, in three languages as his end message: ThankYou, Merci, Xie-Xie. Make people feel that a new era!
In the past of SIGIR Conference, we will publish information retrieval-related technology.
Sort learning as an emerging information retrieval technology to the General Assembly occupies an important position, everyone's attention. In fact, information retrieval, many problems can be sorted into the form. To date, the sort model usually through experiential approach. There is often not fully supported in theory, the application still needs improvement. Sort learning is in recent years by using statistical machine learning methods of sorted model modeling technology and theory and its application on a wide range of advantages. As a research fields, sort learning has many issues need to study and exploration that has become popular in the field of information retrieval. The SIGIR has two Session, 8 papers about the sort of learning. In particular, the Research Institute of 5 papers has 4 essay is about the sort of learning, highlights it in the direction of the lead. In addition, Congress held a sort learning workshop (workshop), lihang from Research Institute, LAU Tit rock, Illinois champagne campus Zhai into harmony Cornell University ThorstenJoachims organization. This seminar attracted over 100 participants registered for participation in the General Assembly, becoming the largest number of a seminar.
The next year will be held in Singapore SIGIR.
It will have special keywords to describe? our novelty and excitement are looking forward to its arrival.
