Our paper on learning a joint search and recommendation model from user-item interactions has been accepted to #WSDM2020. Joint work with Bruce Croft @wbc11

UMass just announced that we are looking for an IR faculty person - apply early and often! careers.umass.edu/amherst/en-us/…

In case you missed the retweet, here are my slides for the #CLEF2019 keynote ciir.cs.umass.edu/downloads/clef… - hardly any overlap with the #SIGIR2019 one!

@lauradietz99 Sure, no problem.

@wbc11 Can I use some of these slides in my IR lecture?
