It is a joint workshop of two interest groups
Min-Yen Kan
Dietmar Wolfram
1st BIRNDL workshop in 2016 at JCDL, 2nd BIRNDL in 2017 at SIGIR, CL-SciSumm Pilot task 2014 and successful BIR workshops at ECIR
Our interests include Bibliometrics; Information Retrieval; Digital Libraries; Natural Language Processing; Text Mining and Digital Libraries

3. Why is the workshop at SIGIR?
Bibliometrics, information retrieval (IR), text mining and NLP techniques can help in information seeking, but are not yet widely used in digital libraries and academic search engines
The goal is to
stimulate IR, Bibliometrics and NLP researchers to discuss how to improve retrieval services, e.g. in DL
apply insights from bibliometrics, scientometrics, and NLP to practical problems of retrieval and browsing
elaborate on new approaches

4. Workshop Agenda
