Thrilled to share that I successfully defended my M.A.Sc. thesis! Grateful to my supervisors(@FattaneZ and @ebrahim_bagheri) and committee for their support and insightful feedback. 🎓

Now the time for our second keynote speaker, Johanne Trippas @JTrippas, sharing her perspective on “Conversational Information Systems for a Proactive Future: Beyond Ten Blue Links” in our ProActLLM workshop. #proactllm @cikm2025

Earlier today, we had a very successful panel discussion on proactive conversational information seeking with active discussions from both panel members and audience. Thanks to the panel members for their support: @ppsunrise @NegarEmpr @ydeng_dandy @merrafelice @ChuanMg

I’ll be presenting our work “Conv2Title: A Conversation-to-Title Framework for Proactive Search in Conversations” at the Proactive LLMs Workshop (ProActLLM) today @cikm2025 at 11:00, and I’ll be on the panel discussion at 11:30. Details: proactllm.github.io #CIKM2025

#AI researcher @imsure318 helped organize today's Workshop on Proactive Conversational Information Seeking with Large Language Models (#ProActLLM) that's co-located with #CIKM2025 bloom.bg/43mOW6D #LLMs #GenAI #NLProc #InformationRetrieval #HCI #HumanComputerInteraction

I’ll be on the Panel Discussion at the Proactive LLMs workshop today at 11:30 @cikm2025 ! 🤖 We’ll be talking about when models should take initiative, how to ground their actions, and what the future of proactivity looks like. Details: proactllm.github.io #CIKM2025

The final program of the ProActLLM is up! 🎉 Check it out at proactllm.github.io Join us at #CIKM2025 (Friday, Nov 14th - Room 205B) for keynotes, talks, and a lively panel on proactive conversational info seeking with LLMs. #ProActLLM @cikm2025 @wangxieric @ShubhamC526

Today I’ll be presenting our paper "RottenReviews: Benchmarking Review Quality with Human and LLM-Based Judgments" at @cikm2025 , Room 209B, 4 PM session. Come by to chat and learn more! #CIKM2025

I will be at CIKM 2025 from Nov. 11 to 14, presenting two papers between 17:45 and 19:30 in Room E (3F). Will also co-lead the organisation of ProActLLM2025 proactllm.github.io. Also comes with the aim of recruiting PhD students (see previous posts). DM for meetup & chat.

Once an LS3’er, always an LS3’er! So happy to see the crew once again together @cikm2025 this year! #CIKM2025

I thought writing the thesis was the hard part…

Had an amazing time at @COLM_conf 🍁! Great talks, inspiring research, and wonderful conversations with the NLP community.

This paper is an extension of our ECIR 2024 work: “Estimating Query Performance Through Rich Contextualized Query Representations” ✨ If you missed it, you can read it here 👉 link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

QSD-QPP isn’t limited to one setting! It works for both: 🔹Pre-retrieval (QSD-QPP_Pre): lightweight, interpolates from nearby queries. 🔹Post-retrieval (QSD-QPP_Post): enriches predictions by nearby queries and their performance.

Excited to share that our paper has been accepted at ACM TIST 🎉 We introduce QSD-QPP, a framework that predicts query effectiveness by leveraging distances in a neural query space. ⚙️Code is available here: github.com/sadjadeb/QSD_Q… 📖Paper: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/37… #TIST #QPP

9/ Huge thanks to my brilliant co-authors: Soroush Sadeghian, Ali Ghorbanpour, @NegarEmpr , @sara_slmt , Muhan Li, Hai Son Le, Mahdi Bashari, and @ebrahim_bagheri for making this possible 🙌 Looking forward to seeing you in Seoul! 🇰🇷 #RottenReviews #Reviewerly #CIKM2025

8/ Why it matters: ✔️ Helps venues detect low-effort reviews ✔️ Enables fairer & more transparent review evaluation ✔️ Opens the door for evidence-based peer review reform We are releasing all data, code, and models to encourage further research: 🔗 github.com/Reviewerly-Inc…

1/ 🚀 Excited to share that our paper "RottenReviews: Benchmarking Review Quality with Human and LLM-Based Judgments" has been accepted at #CIKM2025 Applied Research Track! 🎉 We explore what makes a peer review good and why LLMs still have a long way to go in evaluating them.🧵
