#ICASSP2024 Happy to attend IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing! Really good welcome ceremony and nice K-pop welcome reception!

[Zijun Long @zijunlong]

Also Special thanks to Jheng-Hong Yang et al. @mattjustram for the AToMiC dataset! Can't achieve this paper without their efforts!

[Zijun Long @zijunlong]

Glad to share that our paper "CFIR: Fast and Effective Long-Text to Image Retrieval for Large Corpora" has been accepted at #SIGIR2024 as a full paper, a joint work with @Solis_xurige, @richardm_, and @joemonj.

Excellent summary by @claclarke of how IR evaluation has changed in the era of LLMs #ecir2024

[ECIR2024 @ecir2024]

Here are your volunteers for #ecir2024 Look out for people in blue t-shirts! 👕 They will be around all week to help you out, don't hesitate to ask!

[ECIR2024 @ecir2024]

Hope you heard the bell!

Time for the second session of the day!! #ecir2024.

[Glasgow IR Group @ir_glasgow]

In addition to hosting the #ecir2024 conference next week, many of our staff and students @GlasgowCS will be actively engaged in presenting their recent work during the 5 days of the conference. @ecir2024 @IDAglasgow

In this paper, we leverage pre-training capabilities Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) to enable the creation of a simplified framework, thus mitigating the need for task-specific encoders.

Just over one week to go until the workshop proposals submission deadline: Sep 06, 2023

Looking forward to seeing all the great workshop ideas!

[Zijun Long @zijunlong]

Proud to present our paper: ”A robust Vision Transformer for Crisis Image Classifications” at ISCRAM 2023. @iscram2023 @mimran15

Built the new work station: 13900K + 4090 with water cooling system. Hope it does not overheat🙃

[Craig Macdonald @craig_macdonald]

.@IDAglasgow and .@ir_glasgow photo today. Reckon the professional photographer will take a few better ones…

[Zijun Long @zijunlong]

RTX 4090 is really impressive!

[Glasgow IR Group @ir_glasgow]

For the first time since the start of the pandemic, we have been able to have an in person dinner to celebrate the successful PhD defence of a student. Congrats @wangxieric !!
