CIKM ’10 and 3rd ESAIR

October 27th-30th, I attended the 19th ACM Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM ’10), and the Third Workshop on Exploiting Semantic Annotations in Information Retrieval (ESAIR 2010), in Toronto, Canada. The CIKM ’10 conference had over 600 participants from all over the world, with tracks covering the topic areas Information Retrieval, Knowledge Management and Databases. The ESAIR workshop consisted of 17 position papers presented as posters, a one-minute boaster session and break-out-groups with discussions. I presented the position paper Semantic Annotations in Clinical Documentation — Exploring Potentials for Future Information Retrieval at ESAIR. The poster can be viewed either in the corridor in front of my office at DSV, or here: http://www.sics.se/jussi/esair2010/poster/APP-Velupillai.pdf. The position paper is available at the ACM Digital Library: http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=1871962.1871968.
