Information Retrieval
Trustworthy Information Retrieval
Abstract: Access to reliable information is essential. How do we ensure that the technology that we use to connect people to information is itself trustworthy?

The talk will be example-based in an attempt to make two key dimensions (transparency and robustness) as tangible as possible.
