Editor's Notes

  1. A very big welcome to everyone to the first ever SIGIR workshop on Neural Information Retrieval.
  2. So given how much we love our metrics in the SIGIR community, I would love to quickly share some numbers about today’s workshop.
  3. …Our acceptance rate for submissions was 73%.
