ECIR 2009 Best Paper Awards

The European Conference for Information Retrieval (ECIR 2009) was held last week in Toulouse.

Xing brought word that the paper, Mean-Variance Analysis: A New Document Ranking Theory in Information Retrieval by Jun Wang won the best paper award. It applies statistical theory from selecting stocks for a financial portfolio to ranking web documents.

Unfortunately, the proceedings are published by Springer and there doesn't seem to be a copy available online yet.

The best student paper was Joint Ranking for Multilingual Web Search by Wei GAO.

Update: Readers posted in the comments that the best poster award went to A Practitioner’s Guide for Static Index Pruning by Ismail Sengor Altingovde, R. Ozcan, Ö. Ulusoy.
