Description
CORIA 2008 is the fifth Francophone Conference on Information Retrieval and Applications.
Organized with the support of the ARIA (French Association for IR) CORIA is the main forum
for the Francophone community in information retrieval. It is widely open to the entire scientific
community concerned with this domain.
The conference gives to the participants the opportunity to exchange new ideas and to present
new theoretical and empirical results in IR and in related domains. IR has known unprecedented
developments, particularly with the growth of web-related applications. Many new promising
directions have recently emerged like web retrieval, Web2.0 applications, social networks, blog
search, forums and community sites, large graph analysis, rumor detection, sentiment
classification, etc.
The targeted audience for CORIA 2008 is that of junior and confirmed researchers conducting
their research in the field of Information Retrieval or related fields, in France and in Frenchspeaking countries such as North Africa countries, Switzerland, Belgium or Canada.
