Final Days of the Semester

These days I am busy with marking a pile of exam papers and reading my students' assignments.

Improving Non English Web Searching

The 2nd ACM International Workshop on ‘ Improving Non English Web Searching ’ will be held in conjunction with ACM CIKM 2008. The main aims of this workshop are to identify the problems in web searching when working with non-English languages and to propose solutions and tools so as to improve web retrieval systems.

Exams Time

June came and this is the exam time again. Now, I am preparing my exams for the next week and will be busy very soon with a pile of papers to mark.
