The scope of the SPIRE series of symposia includes not only fundamental algorithms in string processing and information retrieval, but also SP and IR techniques as applied to areas such as computational biology, DNA sequencing, and Web mining. Given its interdisciplinary nature, SPIRE offers a unique opportunity for researchers from these different areas to meet and network. Typical topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * String Processing: Dictionary algorithms, Text searching, Pattern matching, Text and sequence compression, Succinct and compressed indexing, Automata-based string processing; * Biological Sequence Processing: Analysis of DNA and RNA sequencing data, Molecular sequence processing, Recognition of genes and regulatory elements, Comparative genomics and population genetics; * Information Retrieval: Information retrieval models, Indexing, Ranking and filtering, Interface design for IR, Evaluation issues in IR, Text analysis, Text mining, Text classification and clustering, Information extraction, Language models and topic models for search related-tasks, Efficient implementation of IR systems, Algorithms and data structures for IR; * Search-related tasks: Cross-lingual information retrieval, Multimedia / multi-modal information retrieval, Recommendation and collaborative filtering, Semi-structured data retrieval, Blog retrieval. % --------------------------------- % REGISTRATION % --------------------------------- Detailed registration information can be found at http://spire2011.isti.cnr.it/?page_id=244 ## Reminder: Early bird registration expires August 15, 2011 ## % --------------------------------- % PRELIMINARY PROGRAM % --------------------------------- The SPIRE 2011 program features * the SPIRE 2011 Tutorials day (Oct 17) * the SPIRE 2011 Main Conference (Oct 18-20) * the SPIRE 2011 Workshops day (Oct 21) % --------------------------------- % MAIN CONFERENCE % --------------------------------- The SPIRE 2011 main conference features two invited talks: * Erik Demaine (MIT), "Constructing Strings at the Nano Scale via Staged Self-Assembly" * Abdur Chowdhury (Twitter), (Title to be Announced) plus 30 long papers and 10 short papers.
