Okay so, we just found that over 50 papers published at @Neurips 2025 have AI hallucinations
I don't think people realize how bad the slop is right now
It's not just that researchers from @GoogleDeepMind, @Meta, @MIT, @Cambridge_Uni are using AI - they allowed LLMs to generate hallucinations in their papers and didn't notice at all.
It's insane that these made it through peer review👇

Happy to share that our paper "Generative Retrieval with Few-shot Indexing" has been accepted at #ECIR2026, with @arian_ask, @maliannejadi, @zhaochun_ren, Evangelos Kanoulas and @suzan.
A training-free generative retrieval method with strong performance and much faster indexing

Ik wilde weten waarom Elon Musks chatbot Grok onlangs compleet ontspoorde, allerhande antisemitische stereotypen begon uit te braken, en zichzelf MechaHitler begon te noemen. Wat blijkt: het rabiate buitenbeentje onder de chatbots is gewoon zo getraind. nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/07…

The #SIGIR2025 Best Paper just awarded to the WARP engine for fast late interaction!
Congrats to Luca Scheerer🎉 WARP was his @ETH_en MS thesis, completed while visiting us at @StanfordNLP.
Incidentally, it's the fifth Paper Award for a ColBERT paper since 2020!*
Luca did an incredible job leading and executing this. See the thread below for some relevant links.
*Though it's notable that this is actually the first among these awards with ColBERT(v1/v2) authors😅😅

📢 If you’re at #SIGIR2025 this week, make sure to be at Luca Scheerer’s paper talk: “WARP: An Efficient Engine for Multi-Vector Retrieval” (Wednesday 11am) WARP makes PLAID, the famous ludicrously fast ColBERT engine, another 3x faster on CPUs. With the usual ColBERT quality!

Shameless self-promotion! Check out the book on #GenIR edited by @ryen_white and me (with 9 chapters written by highly distinguished scholars) at the @SpringerNature booth at #SIGIR2025 link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

Wow, honored to be named an Excellent PC Member at @SIGIRConf!
Glad my obsessive... I mean detailed... reviewing style paid off. 🤓✨
Huge thanks to the chairs for the recognition and congrats to all the other reviewers!

A good thought-provoking panel at the start of @SIGIRConf 2025 #SIGIR2025 "Is Search Dead? The Rise or Demise of Search in the Era of LLMs". Many valuable points on the topic from an excellent team of panelists.

Suspect some of this has now been implemented with AI Overviews. Looking forward to more thoughts from IR professors at this year's European Summer School for Information Retrieval next week.
Dawn Anderson@dawnieando
LLMs for IR lecture delivered by @suzan at ESSIR 2024. Highlights the recent AI Overviews debacle. Suggests search engines need to pre-qualify the documents which are returned for reliability / credibility for AI Overviews

If, due to exceptional circumstances, you are not able to travel to Padua to present your paper, please contact the chairs at sigir2025-pp@dei.unipd.it on May 30th CEST the latest to discuss possible solutions.

In only two years LLM-based relevance assessment has gone from rejections because it’s crazy and dangerous to rejections because it is boring and standard.

ModernBERT 🤜 🤛 ColBERT = ModernColBERT
ModernColBERT is the latest state-of-the-art text-based late interaction model by @LightOnIO.
- Based on the ModernBERT-base encoder
- Outperforms ColBERT-small on the BEIR retrieval benchmark
Here’s a quick notebook I threw together covering how you can use ModernColBERT with @weaviate_io:

ECIR 2025 was a great success. Hoping to make a memorable #ECIR2026 with the dream team of @suzan and @zhaochun_ren … We will be preparing to welcoming all of us to Delft.
ECIR2025@ecir2025
…and the next ECIR will be in Delft, The Netherlands! See you at #Ecir2026 @run4avi
